Sexing Geophagus Dicrozoster

[L.BelcherII]

Anyone have any idea how to tell the difference between the sexes?

guess not

Hard to tell unless they're full size in a colony. Males will generally grow faster, show more vibrant colouration, and will sprout and extend their famous 'streamers' earlier and more extensively.

Thanks. I currently have three, and would like to add more. I was wondering if there was a surefire way to figure it out. There doesn't seem to be alot of information out there for them.

If you could find it on e-bay maybe. There was a book now out of print called "South American Eartheaters". It had great info on all the eartheaters.

TY I'll look out for that for sure. They're fast becoming my favorite fish.

GOOD LUCK!!! I got mine from a man in Australia. But you can google your heart out like I did and find one.

try checking Amazon.com too, I have seen used ones on there maybe two times in the past year

Yeah, my first search came up with the thread you started here. lol
Nothing so far, but I'll definitely keep my eyes out for it.

Thanks again.

I've seen a few copies of the book over here, they're exy though, more than I'd even want to spend on paper
