Fish and sex...

Thought that the title may get some attention. Just wanted to show off some my fish growing out in my 320 and see what the thoughts were on the sex of my chancho (last few pics)

The Chancho look male to me. Males tend to have yellow/green around gill plates. Females have more orange/red

The male is 11inch still loads of growing to do. He's grown slower than my Trimac, but hopefully he will end up being a lot bigger. The females around 8 inch at a guess

Very cool, man.....the Tex and Jag and JD are lookin' great too......what are you feeding those brutes? that's cyanno right?, not carpintis

Thanks, the jag was a rescue. It had very bad hith, but over time it's actually been healing. The texas was sold to me as a "green texas" from the pet store, so who knows. They are eating hikari bio gold, massivore, and raw shrimp.

The growth on these guys is pretty crazy. Here's a few pics from 2-3 months ago.

Ok, got some more pics of the chancho in question. I'm still hoping/thinking male, but open to more opinions. Thanks
