What Sex

[Robris]

Hi I bought my fish two weeks ago and never thought about the sex when I was getting them and now I wouldnt mind knowing.

Whats the easiest way to determine the sex of my 2 yellow labs and 2 Cobalt blues?

thanks for any advice

Yellow labs are very difficult to sex sorry even with pics their hard.

As for 2 Cobalt blues, i not sure what species u mean, guessing blue ahli

If so the males are blue and females are silver.

nah not the electric blue, I was going to get two of them to go with my two electric yellows but their colour was all silver/grey and it looked very dull even though my lfs said their colour develops when they grow into adult hood. I should of got them though, as my Cobalt blues are very aggressive and bash the yellows often aswell as dig up the gravel everywhere (big trouble makers, but I guess its a cool personailty to watch).


Here is a link to the fish i mean

ok, as far as i remember, see the spots on the anal fin, their a general sign of a male, females sometime's have the odd one but it's not 100% true
