[Pogthefish]

[Pogthefish]

[MrVampire181]

Definitely a male.

I once had a female who flared. We females are always flaring about things, at least once a month.

He's a male. Sometimes males have egg spots.

 

[Sena Hansler]

yup! male. The fins say male for sure and I have long finned females, short finned females, long finned males and short finned males :roll: There are some young males who have the egg spot... Hence why you could mistaken HIM for a HER since he was still growing!

LOL 'bout once an hour for me...

 

[Sena Hansler]

:lol:

 

[EvilVOG]

Looks like a male to me.

My girls flare all the time though.

 

[Sena Hansler]

I've got 5 flaring females xD They are the prettier bigger ones

im not going to take the once a month thing the wrong waaaay

and did she flare sometimes or often? Pog flares at everything!

 

[Sena Hansler]

My own females flare at each other (just communication and saying "MY area, get out!"), males, some other random things....lol. but not often

 

[Bombalurina]

Females can be just as aggressive and flary as the male. For a long while I thought Athena was possibly a boy because she flared at anything that moved and built huge bubblenests.

 

[Pogthefish]

have you all ever had long-finned females?

 

[Sena Hansler]

I have long finned, short finned, of both male and female. the body type on your "female" says male, since most females should have the plumpness, or at least the curved belly look to them if they are not eggy. Males have beards, while females may only have the clear part, or just the face plate. Plus, I've seen some long finned gals who were LOOOONG finned :lol: but what you have there is for suer a male, since the longest finned female I've seen didn't have them that long.

 

[Pogthefish]

wow, ok theyre actually horter now, he had a fin biting issue that i didnt recognise at first. btw anyone n how to treat BIG fin rips, liek all the way up to the tail base in females or halfway up for males?

 

[MrVampire181]

Long finned females will never get to be the size of a male's fins. It doesn't happen.
