Do both males and females build nests?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'll have to do that tomorrow, lights just went out on timer in here tank. But I will definitely do that first thing in morning. Out of curiosity, what is the difference in the male and female vents? I have the same question for my Green terror. I'll take a vent shot of that one too if I can catch it. (It's in one of my BIG tanks and will be a bit tricky to catch. BTW... Thanks for all your help!
 
GT can be sexed at a small size as there are not sexually dimorphic....The female vent will look like oO and the male OO.......Also the males vent will have a slimmer pointed breeding tube...Girls have fattish round breeding tubes...ALSO (lol) the female vent is a little v shaped as the male is U shaped.....Hope I have helped at all....
 
cool, thx! I'll add new "vent" pics tomorrow AM.
 
These pics are quite blurry, my camera is really bad. Hope these show enough.
