Dear all,

I was hoping to get your opinion on the sex of this pair of electric blue acaras?

Thank you as always

The fish in the picture with the big white camera flash reflection looks like a male.

The fish in the picture with the angelfish has a pointy anal fin and could be male too, but I can't see the dorsal fin properly. But fi the dorsal fin is long and pointy then it's a male as well.

Can't thank you enough Colin.

Alas, my hopes of having a breeding pair have been dashed
 
Too young/small to tell and really only when breeding tubes drop will you know. The males will have a bigger head as they mature. I had a breeding pair of normal blue acaras years ago and I only could tell them apart because I saw them spawn. It is not easy to sex the little ones.

here is the one I have now and I think it is a female but I am not sure and she is stunted.
