Could One Of Our New Girls Be A Boy

[Netty]

Hi again. Having settled in initially really well, one of the girls has become quite agressive and is constantly harassing the other 3 who seem to stick together and try to avoid her. She is dominating from the middle of tank and will actively seek and chase them out of their hidey holes and is continually flaring at them and also at her reflection when mirror is held up to tank (which the other 3 don't). We can't see any noticeable white spot either (but then eyesight isn't brilliant).

What do you think? If she is a he, we have another tank we can move him to that just has some corys in. Sorry pics aren't great. Will keep trying to get some clearer ones if possible.

Beautiful fish!
Even if your fish is a she or a he, if its behavior still persists, its best if you move it to a differnt tank for the other fishies sake. You font want any bad accidents...

That looks a lot like a PK male to me..... im not quite sure tho . If he/she is being that aggressive, it's a good idea to move him/her to another tank.

looks like a male judging by that beard! and what a pretty boy!

 

[lilfishie]

i agree looks male, very pretty one too

Yep, Netty and me agree

He is now tank mates with 10 Cory's. That'll keep him on his toes (if he had toes, LOL) He's completely ignoring them.

I have an aquastart filter maturing in my bigger tank and should be ready within the week. We intend to get the 32L tank running which will house this PK and I've have some bits and pieces to make a divider so there can eventually be space should another male come to stay, LOL.

I thought he was male but just needed your expert opinions, Thanks
