Big clown loach

[Druu]

So the largest one is female? Which of yours would be male?

The one on it's side is male...the rest are too small to tell still.

Ah ok, from this angle he looks substantially smaller. How long is it?

I have read several places that you can tell clown loach sex by their body shape. The taller bodied loaches are female while the shorter height loach is the male. It's hard to tell when they are little, but once they are over 6", it begins to show.



lol...I even looked it up...it's only an 8 hour trip.


Here's a pic of my female.....

Thanks. You can kind of see how her back is arched. Even if she was skinny, her back would still have that same curve. I will see if I can get a better picture with two next to each other.

[BastardFish]
