and here they are...bought them at like 5 inches more or less, and they are like 16 +inches now in 3-4 months, very growth rate, can you guys tell the sex of them?

surprised the silver arow is still alive after so long! my 2 micropeletes ripped apart a bigger silver eventhough i overfeed them twice a day! great job! sexing them is extremely hard for both...have to wait till they mature and start to pair off!

Nice micros ! one of them looks really beefed up

there is no way to tell at this size , they are still juvies at the moment and would not show a diferance until sexually mature , even then it is very hard to tell from a photo ,

pic 7 is the shot needed to give a possable guess once they are sexually mature. the only reliable way is to feel for the overies around the belly area , again at this size i would not expect to feel a diferance. when they get over two foot and take on full adult colouration you stand a better chance of telling.
