hey Guys,

just wondering if anyone can tell me what sex my blue diamonds are?
on is a little smaller so it may be too early.
the larger one is about 10cm

its pretty hard to tell with juvenile fish - but having to guess - IMO the one marked 'small' is female - smaller 'recessed' lips and a more 'rounded' dorsal fin - the one marked 'discus Large' COULD be a male - i say this only because of his protruding lips and the dorsal fin squares off at the end - of course, with such young discus, i may be entirely wrong.

I would say they are way too young to predict just now. Give them another 4-6 months of good food and plenty of water and we'll try again
