What is the low number of males caused by? Do collectors have regulations for taking males? Do males have less of a survival rate than females? Would be interesting to learn more about this.

Right now I think I have 100% female (will have to get you guys to verify though). Last two are also pretty small. Kinda hoping one is male cause then I can post in Vancouver_98683 's magic mike thread. Heh.

Females:
Moke
Albino (?)
Delhezi

In the past, 98% of the polypterus I kept were female. ATM, I'm not too sure since my ornates are still small.
