sexing golden wonder killis

how do you sex the golden wonder killi. i have 2. any sug.

with most killis, though i'm not sure about this particular one, the males will be more colorful and have a more distinct pattern, whereas the females will have a duller color and any pattern will be less distinct

Well my male has larger fins and and is a very bright colour. while the feamle is smaller and a much paler colour!

Sexing is easy: the male is much more yellow and usually has a more noticeable extension in the middle of his caudal fin. Females are more greyish, and rarely have the red areas males can.

The golden wonder killi is a colour form of aplocheilus lineatus. As it has already been said I think in previous posts sexing is by more colour and longer fins in males.
I prefer the natural fish as opposed to the gold form as i think it looks far nicer.
They are also easy to breed as they are adhesive spawners and will happily breed in a community tank. It is easy to harvest the eggs with a small breeding tank and a breeding mop, java moss or indian fern. I have managed to do it so it must be easy.
I would also suggest a tight fitting lid to save on dissapointment as they are very good jumpers.

yeah i figured out that the hard way. thanx guys.

I have lost fish too the same way even with tight fitting lids!
It is just one of those things sent to test our patience.
