Quick question on cacatuoide

[Konigwolf]

Just a quick question on sexing cacatuoide. One of my females has started to form a lyrette tail which I've never seen on a female, keeping other normal colours (ie light yellow grey) no colouring on fins. I was wondering the chance of it being a sleeper male as I've never seen a female with a lyrette tail (not that that means much).

I have seen females in my former triple red line get very short ray extensions, but i think that had more to do with line breeding than sleeper males.

Older females will develop small extensions on the caudal and evern dorsal fin.

Well its still a young fish, so I'll leave it as a possible sleeper, no real drama, its just going into a 6' with another 8-9 cacatuoide in a week or so (was aiming at 3 trio's ) thanks
