I have 2 x T. Ellioti (sold as Ellioti), is there a specific way to positively id these and sex them? One is a bit smaller than the other, they are between 2" and 3" the biggest being nearer 3"

Thanks Minxfishy, I was a little confused as a lot of the sites I have read say females have a blotch in their dorsal fin.... My biggest seems to have a small blotch in the dorsal. Fingers crossed they will breed one day.

Thanks

Agreed, you can tell by the difference in their dorsal fins
