kchadwick Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I came across this one at the local pet shop and was told it was a 'pregnant female' lol (they didn't know what a 'giant' was) so is it a boy or girl? I'm thinking boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I dunno. Seems quite wide in the area where the ovaries would be which would suggest female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchadwick Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I read somewhere about looking at the length of the anal fin compared to the base of the tail - is this reliable? I spotted the white spot today (oviposter?) so looking like female she/he's about 6cm long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyarlla Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 It looks just like my female VT when she's in a calm mood :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Looks like a girl to me. The ventrals are a bit long, but the body shape is much more female than male. It doesn't look like a young fish either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
