Determining The Sex Of BGKF's?

[Kr0wn]

interesting topic this one... i've heard many things such as the males looking more like horses, and having a larger forehead, whilst the females tend to have thicker bodies... anyone know for sure?

thanks.

Worked at a lab that dealt with BGK consistently.

He said there was no superficial characteristic in determining there sex. All this stuff you hear online isn't consistent (for a scientific experiment at least).

i see... is there any sort of connection in their maximum size? i heard males get bigger than females? or is it vice-versa?

yes if they have same age the bigger usually is male,
here (my city) the breeder usually sexing BGKF at curve between head and stomach but the fish must have size about 6 " (so its depend on your eye)

females have pot belly, male doesn't. male is very slender and definitely due to this slenderness, their face looks more elongated like horses. females kinda reminds me of cute puppy. I say good 2 years before you can tell them apart. 15cm+
