What is the low number of males caused by? Do collectors have regulations for taking males? Do males have less of a survival rate than females? Would be interesting to learn more about this.

Right now I think I have 100% female (will have to get you guys to verify though). Last two are also pretty small. Kinda hoping one is male cause then I can post in Vancouver_98683 Vancouver_98683 's magic mike thread. Heh.

Females:
Moke
Albino (?)
Delhezi

Totally didn't know there were low males! So many questions now!

Josh's Fish Josh's Fish , do you have any information about the prevelance of female polypterus (and lack of males) in home aquaria? Collecting regulations? Breeding? Survival advantages?
