Just a quick shot of my Pleuro

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Got it by pure chance, from Holland. The only one I ever saw available....

I guess in Germany/Holland it might be easier...

Anybody from this area care to give their two cents?

Very nice!

I believe males are a strong deep blue and females have a greenish tint to them.

Mig - Just curious how hard are these fish to get in your area? Ive heard that even where these monsters are legal that they are still hard to obtain. How long did it take you to get one of these? Difficult to track down?

Nice fish! J- I have read that it has more to do with body shape than color when it comes to sexing pleuros. I maybe wrong though.

So what body shape belongs to what sex?

Deeper belly is your female.

never seen it described in any official readings but have witnessed it in every picture or specimen i've ever seen. females are most definitely almost twice the mass of a male in most cases!
