Does anyone know if it's even possible?
I have 2, i know the male has 12 - 15 dorsal fins and the female about 9 or am i wrong?, what does it mean if my one has 5 and the other has about 10? there is a clear difference in colour the smaller one is olive in colour and the other is a much lighter almost caramel brownish thingy, its my first time keeping ropefish, so just bare with me. They both seem very close, they're always chilling very close 2 each other, the one lighter coloured one has a bigger and flatter head, and is only slightly longer than the olive one, its head is almost twice the size, it doesnt have the same appetite as the olive one, it seems to be less interested in food although it does eat like a lil pig when it decides to eat.
How can i tell which is male and female? does the colour mean anything? maybe the size of the heads? i know in nature most of the time the females tend to be bigger in size in most animals, they were about the same size when i got them, which was about2 weeks ago, and the lighter one has grown very rapidly while the other has stayed the same, but then again my rainbow shark dissapeared without a sign overnight, maybe thats why its grown so quickly? i need help, has anyone ever bread a ropefish, is it possible and how would i go about doing it?
