havent5 seen a nice bb like that in a looooong time.

You really need to vent or see them with thier ovipositor out, to sex them.Goodlooking BB
 
thanks
i had a thread up to see what vieja type they were. at this stage i think i definately have blackbelt crossed with synsp. the one your talking about looks all blackbelt. (she) is the biggest in the tank. others look more synsp. From watching them i think the first pic is male with the others female. lovely peaceful fish to keep

Very nice Black Belt and Synspilum. I currently have both in a 200gal. My black belts seem to have a little more red in the face.
