Hi all

I have about 65 young from aggazzi FR that are about 3-4 cm.
I am wanting to move them on soon and sell them sexed if possible. I can see some of the males as they are getting the white in the dorsal and a little pointed.
Should I seperate the known males to another tank or divide the one I have so that the sleeper males have a change to show.

Thoughts?

Personally, I'd move known males to another tank and allow subdominant males to develop. Only problem with this is that its been hinted that young females of certain species of apistos - agassizii included - might, just might, develop into males if none are present. I've never observed this however.
