Re: Need help sexing my A.sp."Rio Marmore" juveniles



Mike ,
Thanks for your help.I'm still puzzled because they don't show the
extended anterior dorsal fin spines yet.Maybe it's still to early to tell.Two of my six fish start to look more like males.
The Z-man noticed the blue coloration around the eye of this fish.Females don't seem to have this coloration.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.This species is one of my favorites among Apistos.I look forward to take some great pictures of them as adults.
Max

Max,

It looks a lot like the "half grown" male pictured in Römer's Atlas on p. 551. I
would expect to see some slightly extended anterior dorsal fin spines by now.
The spines aren't visible in the photo, so I can't say for certain that it's a
male.
