I have a 10" strigata and a 9 1/2" lenticulata that i would like to know the sex of. Anyone like to take a stab at it? I have 2 of each getting along very well in a 300 gallon right now. Let me tell you that it is an awsome site to see them all together in one tank.

Can't really tell, but they both look like males in that photo. Can't see their dorsal fins clearly enough to be able to tell accurately.

Would love to see a full tank shot! Bigger tanks do make it easier to keep multiple species together, although sometimes it just doesn't work out! Congrats on the strigata...;)
 
Thanks Peanut. This is my 3rd strigata. Man do i like them. I will try to find some full tank shots.

Third one eh? Where do you keep getting them at? True strigata are a pain to find! You have done quite well! Love the tails on them, they are so gorgeous! If you ever get the chance, get the redfinned variant from Brazil, they have some CRAZY intense yellow colors on them, and their eye are CRAZZZY yellow!! I used to have a pair before i moved to Mississippi....

Here is the link to a couple of pictures of mine when I got them...;)
