Tanichthys albonubes. I have only been able to sex them when the females fill with eggs, males are always slimmer.

Yahoo or Google search will give you LOTS of sites and info. Tanichthys translates to Tan's fish, in honor of the name of the young boy who discovered the fish in the White Cloud Mountains in China.

Cool, Thanks!

I was wondering about the sexing because they look so different. Is it just some of them have been nipped at a little?

Top male bottom female is how it looks to me.

I agree with William, top fish probably male, bottom one could be either though, looks like it might be younger than top one.
