Re: basic care of Papiliochromis Ramerizi

["Joe Anderson" <the_submariner@hotmail.com>]

I'd agree with these distinctions.  At a young age, they seem rather diff to 
sex, but older males do develp longer fin extensions and of course are 
larger.  I had a breeding "pair" for a while before I tired of them and 
there is some distinction observable over time as to size and fin length
click here for a couple pics of mine:

The far left pic is def the male, If I remember correctly ,the middle pic is 
of a female
I need to reload the pics again, they look a little sloppy on the upload, 
but they are viewable currently.

Whilst we are on the subject, does anyone have reliabel sexing data for
Papiliochromis altispinosa?
I'm assuming the slightly larger fish with these fin extensions and stronger 
colouration is the male.
Cheers
