Most of my fry have gotten up to 2cm to 3cm. Most of the showing blue jewels on the gill plates. Are these mostly males? Some are starting to show some jeweling on their sides. A couple are starting to show a little jeweling on the anal fin. I'm thinking those are males. Some seem to have a over all yellowing appearance. None are showing the sharp tips on the dorsal or anal fins yet. Is there any subtle indications to start sexing at this stage. They are roughly 14 weeks.

They are still too young for me to sex. Besides this, domestic strains are more difficult to sex than wild forms. I would give them 2 or 3 more months to mature.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
