Am having trouble sexing my keyholes, they are both id say 18months old so full size??
One has a extra long extended top fin that hangs straight back, the other has a large top fin that curls round. Any ideas???? One is also larger than the other. They both seem to chase each other about and puff up at each other???? They are both in the same tank on their own. I will try and get photos but they are both VERY shy This post has been edited by Cl@ssy Burd: Jun 1 2008, 08:42 PM |

Males have much longer finage than females and if fully grown should easily be recognisable

They are both indeed Males.
Males are recognized by their pointed extentions to the dorsal and vental fins. Dan.
