Hi friends, i want to know if it is a trifascia female, size 3 cm .

i would say that both are female trifasciata

andrew

generally a rounded tail shape helps me distinguish between hidder males and female fish

Hi,

I would say:

Pic 1: sure female
Pic2: both, female (left) and male (right) (...and Dicrossus filamentosus (male) in the back) ;-)
Pics 3,4: I would say it's a male. ..but it's hard to say on 2cm length.

regards,
Rolo

am thankful! i just want to be sure that the first one is a female

the last one really is very small still to know, the important one is that already I have a couple and is of the same species...
later months tries the reproduction they are trifasciata Guaporé?

I agree with Rolo, except in the Dicrossus male (I think it´s a D. maculatus male).

Regards

Did he lived well and long or he die young?

 

[Joost S]

A bit large, but you are right filamentosus. On the other pic it looks like a round tail. :redface:

The tail is an easy way to ID the species, but for younger fish check the shape of the spots along the middle of the body. D. filamentosus has rectangular spots that are more elongated horizontally. D. maculatus has more square to slightly vertically oriented rectangular spots.

it lived 5 years

it lived 5 years

I don't know the maximum age of this species, but I think that's a good age and pretty old. So, he lived well!...and usually they don't die on senility, because they are quite sensible.

best regards,
Rolo
