naa, eggs will be eaten up soon by the catfish, they have been spawning for about 8 months but never caught them at it. so was never sure who was male and who was female.
In this case the tube sticking out is the female she uses it to lay eggs. Male have a pointy and back papillae used to fertilize.
My wife once asked me why my flowerhorn had his penis out like that haha I go thats a female and shes laying eggs and it was just funny because my nephew asked me whats that. I just said its sick lmao
