Re: Sexing regani

["Susanne and Cory Williamson" <webwill@infinet.net>]

Do regani males (with pointed anal fin tips) also get a bright yellow throat
and belly- (herein lies my id problem). I read in the one of the Apisto
books that some of the regani ecotypes have rounded anal fins. I have one
pale colored regani with a very rounded anal fin. The other three fish have
pointed anal fins like the picture on my website- however, the point does
not extend out as in the photo of the young regani on http:/www.thekrib.com.
The points on my fish are blocky do not extend towards the tail past
vertical.

also have pointed
