I've kept 4 different specimens over the yrs. and I've worked with COUNTLESS others and I am convinced that they can be sexed: NOT SCIENTIFIC JUST MY PERSONAL OBSERVATION,
Males: slightly more streamline then females, cleaner & bolder pattern, more aggressive ( 98% are aggressive but males tend to be over the top), a little more active, grow a little quicker (probably due to no breaks in growth to produces eggs periodically)
Females: stripes tend to be a little "muddier", they are more full bodied, if you watch them close enough they do tend to fill with eggs periodically throughout the year,etc...... basically the opposite of the male of course
ALL CAN BE NOTICES FROM 8in. ON UP
