Hi guys, just wanting some opinions on the sex of my L397s. I have had them for about 2 1/2 years now. I see one appears to be male..

Also would anyone be able to sex this L333?

Cheers

The 397's are either m/m or f/f or m/f, the 333 is either m or f. I hope that clears things up for you. :unsure:

In fairness If you cant tell looking at them in the flesh with the above info, what are the odds anyone else can from a couple below average photos?

Yeah sorry guess your right, the photos are pretty crap. I have always thought both males, was just after opinions that is all. They both look exactly the same to me, I am no expert when it comes to fish lol.

Cheers but the other one has slight hair on it as well and I read that a sub dominate male could hold back on the hair?? I think I should seperate them for a while and see if there is any change to the smaller one.
It does look like m/f but I can't see the difference in the head, I mustn't be looking hard enough.
