Hi all, new member and my first post.
I've learnt a lot from this Forum about these amazing fish and am well and truly hooked.
Would appreciate your opinions about my Red Dragons, I'm not sure on their sex either, any clues?
Thanks everyone.
Greg.

Thanks, I got them from a local guy who was getting out of Discus. I'm pretty happy with them. I think they are both males but are hoping for male female!
Thanks again for your comment.

shape is actually stunning! colour could be more intense but the body shape is so superb, you should be proud of these two!
because they have such good form, they could be either sex. generally the males have the more tapered dorsal fins, bulkier heads etc, however in fish with good breeding the female will as well - it will be impossible to tell until they show signs of breeding. I have a pair that I thought was two males so you may get lucky!
