Don't males just get long trails on their dorsal and pectoral fins like all Geos?

 

[PoopSmart]

holy hell thats a great deal, I think they are 50+ a piece around here (I have seen some for 120 dollars). Maybe its just a really bad deal over here.

That is a good price for altifrons. How big are they? Did you set up a SA tank?

 

[Mr Pleco]

Post some pics! That's an outstanding deal, congrats!

Not all Geos get trailers. Most Altifrons get trailers and most you can sex by looking at their top and bottom fins. The males being more of a point or a long trailer and females rounded or in some cases a very short trailer.

What size are yours and post some pics and we'll try to help.

Forgot to add, you can vent them too. That will be the most accurate in determining the sex.
