Sexing Greens

[fishyz]

One of my freinds is offering me his green sunfish. He only has one but I would like to get another one so I can have a pair. How can you sex these so I can get a pair?
Thanks

Can anybody help me with this?! I want just a pair of these for future breeding.

I love green sunfish. I am going raise these too.

Fishyz, I honestly cannot tell you except that side by side the males are usually more attractive. I have kept a green for two years now, and the only reason I know that she is female, is that she spawned with a male longear, and I witnessed her dump her eggs. PM smbass on the other forum. He knows Lepomis.

OK, I'll pm smbass. Thanks Skipjack.
