Hey guys!! THANKS! sorry I have been in the aussie country we get no Internet out there else we pay a truck load so couldn't check! Nice fish btw I really like the cubans haven't been able to find them over here

Now I am confused lol it has going back to front and I do believe I have some pictures of them being vented somewhere the owner sent me which I completey forgot about until someone mentioned venting is the best way. found them!

They look different to me but I am no pro at all!




The one in the green net is him and the one in the white net is her! Male and female? I also falling towards her being female as they where all looked after just as well yet the male has some huge growth over her which I believe falls towards male also?

Thanks again for all the help guys/girls!

I too am no expert but you notice the "female" is far wider than the "male", so it is possible.

i have a female for sale if they both turn out to b e male. shes full grown , lays eggs every 2 weeks!

hahha id love to take her but how would you get a fish from washington to Australia ?

WELL I got a good surprise today! Eggs guess that sums it up as I have male and female, I must say when they went in together the female lost a lot of the dots she had when she was alone and gained a must more golden color she looks pretty different now.
