I've brought a group of black Tigers hoping for a female, pretty sure 3 males and one I'm not so certain of, how do you sex yours?I've got a group of Black Tiger and it's a lot easier to tell male from female with those at a younger age
Females are a much duller colour although still have some striping but not the black head.I've brought a group of black Tigers hoping for a female, pretty sure 3 males and one I'm not so certain of, how do you sex yours?
Ah Thanks for that, I've got one that's never shown any black or red, I didn't know about the head shape, I'll keep a look out but they are pretty secretive!Females are a much duller colour although still have some striping but not the black head.
I find looking at the head shape is easier as it's shorter and more rounded in females.
This looks like a female to me.This one's about 2/3rds of the size of the rest and never really shown any colour, might just be an undernutrited male as the other males are pretty aggressive towards it, thought they have been abit more gentlemanly if it was a female
It would be interesting to see if they really are females but I'm afraid that's not a company I will buy from.If anyone thinks they can reproduce then this might be helpful:

They've changed it since earlier....it just said "They love to breed" previously and now that's been moved to the special requirements 🤣🤣🤣"Males and females are exciting to watch and often give birth to lots of small fry."
Oh dear.
That's not Badis, it's female guppies and male seahorses.
Congratulations @louis_last 😁 where there's one,there's bound to be more or so I've found!Saw my first fry today, can't be absolutely certain whether it was a badis fry because there's also boraras in there but it had looked like it had stripes so I'm thinking badis.
Did you notice the fry had stripes? There were four of them that darted away to hide in moss when the light came on today and they're still tiny but all looked kind of stripey to me.Congratulations @louis_last 😁 where there's one,there's bound to be more or so I've found!
No they haven't any stripes as far as I can see but most of them are still relatively tiny.Did you notice the fry had stripes? There were four of them that darted away to hide in moss when the light came on today and they're still tiny but all looked kind of stripey to me.
hmmmm...... maybe they are boraras fry after all.No they haven't any stripes as far as I can see but most of them are still relatively tiny.
The male looks to have another batch on the go I think as he is keeping to the cave apart from nipping out for food.
That would be really cool Miranda. I've got a better look at them this morning and I'm not sure they actually have stripes after all, might have just been shadows from the floater roots. It would be great to have something to compare them too.I'll try and get a close up photo of one or two of the tiny ones tomorrow.
