Endler Babies

[mfcclc]

Hi, my husband is breeding endlers but so far all the fry are female ( there are about 100). Just wondered if any one knew why they are all female, as he obviously wants males as well. Is there anything you can do to increase the chances of the fry being males??? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

its somethink to do with the temp i think its the hotter it is the more males there are but it could be the other way round cant remember someone else on hear will know
what temp are they at?
25 degreese is the best temp if you want both sexes

are you sure theyre just not sexually mature yet? the males have to develop gonopodiums, theyre not born with them

how old are the fry, they take 6-12 week to start to develop

The oldest are between 8-9 weeks old and the temp is 26 degrees. Thanks for the replies, i think we'll have to see what happens over the next few weeks, although none are showing any signs of colouring up.

I find that I can see a gonopodium on an endler fry before I notice much color on them.
