This is one of my Trilineatus, it's a long time since the pic was taken but I think this may be a male as it's not too chunky and my females are quite round.

Managed to get some piccys of mine,can anyone sex them please?








Not sure wether some of these are the same fish lol. The 1 in the background in pic1 and to the left in pic 6,i have allways thought was a male.As he is shorter than all the others,and his markings have allways been a lot brighter than all the others.

Your female is quite obvious in 1, 2, 3, mid 5, 6, 7 and left of 8,you may be right about the small one being a male but if it is watch his behaviour with the fat female and see if he "dances" in front of her trying to T, you are best trying to view from above when the females profiles are fuller and wider than the males.

Lol Doodles,Thanks Gemma.There is 5 of them in there,The 1 i think is male,the little 1 in the last picture(i bought that 1 a good 6 months later)and 3 others that all look pretty much the same,i think 1 might be fatter than the others but apart from that theres no difference.One thing i have noticed is that the 1 i think is male has spots on his ventral fins and 1 i had that died that was deffinatly male also had them,but none of the others have.Not sure wether this just coincidence lol.
