Currently have 2 demasoni in my tank for about the past 7 or 8 months and looking to get 2 more, problem is I dont know If I have 2 males or what in my tank and would hate to bring home 2 more males! What can I look for to help identify atleast 1 female??
Thanks
From what I can find the males and females have identical coloration so the best way to sex them is by size and behavior...both of which are hard to tell while at the store. If it's a quality LFS maybe they'll try to identify some for you, otherwise you'll just have to play the odds and assume that by having a large enough quantity you'll get some females in the mix.
Just picked upp all 5 earlier, didnt realize they were slightly smaller than the 2 i had and now my Livingstonii is playing dead tryimng to eat 1. smh...Gonna have to go buy a 10 gallon tomorrow.
Thanks for the info! I currently have 6 left and to my surprise the aggression seems to be spread out and everyone seems fine, have a lot of rock work and plants and hiding places. So quick question, am I less likely to have breeding with only 6 Demasonis? Let me add too that I believe my dominant male has paired up with a mate.
