Hey all, so after that wonderful multi-day power outage in Toronto I'm just spinning back up and almost back to normal. One of those things is including my impending upgrade for my lovely-wonderful-adorable-baby siren Pittpitt, and while I'm doing that I'd like to explore a question that has popped into my head every once in a while.
Male or female?
I've always referred to him as a male until he was 'old enough to tell'. I purchased him (and his biting brother who had to be relocated... normal behaviour or not) on Aug 29/11, he was already 9 inches then. So two and a half years later he's a smidge over 16" and I'm figuring he's old enough to be an 'adult'. So with a tail at 5 3/4" and a smooth forehead... should I start calling him a her from now on?
Knowledgeable opinions appreciated!
Edit: Last picture showing three fingers is due to a rope fish-related accident early on in my fish-keeping years. Also he's currently sleeping like a log.
