So i have a "pair" of bahia's and was just curious by these pictures if anyone can help me confirm that they are indeed male and female i have two people local who say yes and one of them have vented them

Male bahia i think

And here is a "female azul"

If i need to get better pics i think i can in a few days stressed out the tank pretty good getting these out, may have bruised the female azul in the process.

ALL HELP IS NICE AND APPRECIATED.
 
I would just leave em in the tank and vent em that way....waaay too stressful netting and pulling them out just for pics/venting. YOur crazy!
 
You have male and female but there both different sp. Do you have mates for both or are you holding on to hope they will cross breed?
 
No Male Azul pics? good job on the photos man, although I couldn't get a good look at the "female Bahia's" anal fin.. Apparently you can sometimes tell male and female from the shape of it. A male has more of a point and female has a more rounded anal fin.. So a close up side pic of each would be helpful in seeing if there is a noticeable difference in the shape. Your "Male" Bahia is defiantly a male via the photos, I can really see the point in the anal fin plus your vent shot shows a o > which says Male to me… Your "female" Bahia.. I couldn’t see a side shot of the anal fin and the vent shot is a little far away to really tell for sure. But from what I can see in the vent shot of this fish appears to be a o O which’s says female. But to be sure you could take a side shot of the anal fin and a closer vent shot. I'll be doing this with my "Pair" of Bahia's this weekend.. I’ll also take pics and post as you have to get other opinions outside of my own.
 
I guess we know what your 210 special project is going to be... Good Luck and keep us posted on the progress.

This pair is acctually in the 350 gallon and showing strong signs and the seller claims they had spawned for him and he is a reputable seller
wc azuls "Rio Araguaia"

these are in the community tanks
