New Congicus... Male or Female?

[Kohaku]

It is a male congicus. Can you try to get a clearer picture of the body also?

I have a male and female Congicus. Definitely male. They only cup the anal fin when they're in the mood.

Oh cool. Can you post a Pic of each so I can get a good understanding on sexing them? I have 3 Congis and they all look the same to me Lol

Here is a pic of the other 2 I have. Both are 14"




Is the Top Female and the Bottom Male?

the top pic looks female to me ( has a much thinner anal fin as compared to the bottom pic ) so I would say the bottom pic would be male.

Cool. I think I have 2 males and 1 female.
I noticed the 2 males pick at eachother and I just intro the new guy 2 days ago (just fin nipping... so far). I hope its just cause he is new and it will stop

Thanks

I'd think it woud be better to pick a male that you like and get rid of the other. The fin nipping may get worse seeing there is a female in the tank or it might not. I'm sure you can come to a conclusion if it gets worse.
