Wolf Fish Sexing

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
almost impossible to tell the difference.
one of the differences is that the female is usually fuller bodied.
but its really really hard to tell for someone who hasnt bred them before.
 
they're easy to sex - have a look at the dorsal fin - males longer than the female - also females fuller body - males much more slender - any pics

this may be hard to tell when you only have one fish.
how do you know if the dorsal is longer or shorter?
or fuller bodied?
hard to tell for people who only have one or never bred them.
 
A picture's not possible. I'm in college so I'm home only sporadically. From what you guys have said I think it's probably male. It's pretty pencil-shaped and the dorsal fin seems pretty long. I'll try and get a picture eventually.
 
How big do they have to be before they can be sexed?
 
Can anyone post pics of confirmed males or females? This is something I am trying to learn myself, as these are one of my favorite fish.
