Sex my GT please

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You guys are really starting to concern me lol My 'male' looks almost identical to Larry's GT, mine's about 6" and has that exact same tube hanging out. But with the big forehead, can it really be a female???

In a word - yes! Plenty of females develop nuchal humps.
 
most def. females develop massive nuchal humps all the time. If your female has the oscars hemmed up in the corner you might want to invest in another tank, atleast for breeding, because a breeding pair will likely do more than just make the oscars stay in the corner.
 
Yeah, dominant females get nuchal humps often, sometimes big ones. And I've seen plenty of female GTs with long, flowing fins. Looking @ the tube is really the only sure way to tell, in this case definitely an ovipositor, so female.

I am looking into possibly getting a 55....Gotta make sure that the woman of the house will approve that, since she already is complaining that my 150 is too big:nilly:

If it wasn't for that ovipositor, I would have to think twice about the gender! That is one hot female!! I need her for my boy (http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=178975) :)!!
