There is no set ratio. Sometimes you get more females than males, sometimes the other way around. Just keep in mind that some males will appear as females for quite some time before their gonopodium becomes apparent, so you may end up with more males than you think.
well the 20 i had were 100 % all females .
I normally get about 30- 40% males
No disagreement Fish48. It is just a good idea to give enough time to distinguish what you have, as you know very well I am sure. My 8 month old virgin female group of wild type X helleri suddenly has started to show a male in the group. I am waiting to see if it is truly a male or a female in disguise as a male. I don't have the genetic testing capability to find out if he refuses to breed though.
