New Rapps RTM's - Bad Picture Warning!

[pwmin]

First off, I'd like to thank Jeff and warn you of the terrible pictures that are out of focus and taken with flash through dirty glass.

I'd like to know if anyone can help me with sex. And, as you'll see, one is not like the other (only 5 of the 6 are motaguense). My plan is to get a nice pair to breed and then sell the rest off (if any are female, lol). Unfortunately, one has a bad eye, but I knew that already.

Can't seem them well enough to tell, but look for spotting in the unpaired fins. That = male.

I think I may have 2 males (one is the one with the bad eye) and 3 females, but that's just speculation

cool, thanks. I'll have to check for that.

I looked for the spangling and the 3 I thought were females didn't have any. As far as the other 2 go, the one with the bad eye still looks stressed, so it's hard to tell (still leaning towards male), but the other one that I thought was a male has spangling. At least, that's as far as I could tell. I know where to get another male, but it doesn't have any red and is too big.

If you sell any, I got dibs!!!!! Ha, they all have nice color! I think you may have some males in there and a couple female. So you should just give 3 of them over to me ha. Nice Buy man!

I thought that too until I got this fish and pwmin your fish should turn out great I see a few females in their and the one with the bad eye appears male.

Ya, I think, so too, but it doesn't have its color back from shipping yet like the others do. Pretty sure there are 3 females. The tank is so hard to take pics in and they hide under the heaters and behind the sponge filters. I'm going to put the heaters in upright and probably put a piece of DW in there.

The one with the bum eye now constantly hides under the AC70 outlet and is getting beat up a bit. That's probably why it got the bad eye in the first place...runt or whipping boy for some reason. So, I'm going to put it in another tank w/ a 2" sajica that's going to a friend's tomorrow. I hate to get rid of it if the other male decides it doesn't want to "put out" when it's mature for some reason.

Keep us updated on pics

will do.

I need to divide these sponges off so they quit hiding behind them and put some DW in instead.

I lost one of the males (other male killed it), so I sold one of the females to the first person in line. I'm not planning on getting rid of another until I at least get a pair formed and some babies, then I'll probably sell the other female and the fry.
