Hey, dragonfish...does Greeaveli happen to be a GK? I haven't encountered any GK's as old as ours and I think we could use some encouragement if anyone has had one. Sorry in advance if I am on the wrong track.

So, looking at these two, the male does not appear to have a stripe but it may be the angle that the picture was taken. What does seem apparent to me is that the tail of the female has more white on it...similar to mine who is out "lolly gaggling" in the bubbles of her filter system right now.
I think like dogs, the females no matter what breed, still have girly ways about them no matter how hardy they are.
I've read that the difference is the face shape. I've collected pictures from the internet that seem to conferm that there is a difference. (note that some of these pictures are copywrited and are only for personal use)

Female: face is short and has a flat nose/mouth area. body is bigger (height wise) and rounder, more noticable in older/larger fish.
Male: face is angular, has a slope from the back down to the mouth, also has an underbite. body stays thin (height wise) even when bigger.
Now it is possible that these two differances are different strains of BGK's, but I don't think so.
Just thought I'd throw this out there.

There are many stories online about how to sex BGK.
When scientists want to do it, they do surgery.
