Hi Guys,
I have been growing up a couple of Pollenis in seperate tanks hoping that they were a pair. Initially it looked like they were opposite sex but now I'm pretty sure they are both male. I have done the googling so I would just like somebody who is familiar with the species to confirm this for me. Both are about 25cm.

Awesome fish by the way.

Yes big size difference too. Mine are both about 25 cm. Shame, not easy to find. Oh well.
Nice pic by the way.

Thanks and regards
Patrick.
