i received two tiny kribensis yesterday, about 1-2cm long. the woman assured me they are male and female yet one is constantly picking on the other so ive seperated them.

they look identicle, how can i tell if shes fobbed me off with two of the same or if she was right?

I sexed mine at around 10 weeks old mate.. As they get older you can tell by length, as the male is longer, but at any age they can be sexed by the female having a pinky coloured glow round her belly, and are more rounder in shape, whereas the males tend to be less round, and longer in length. Hope this is some help to you pal. Dean =]
