    Male or Female Peppermint ?

    Hi all

    I purchased this pepp when it was only 2.5cm and that was at least 2yrs ago now. It is in my discus display tank but seldom do you see it out and about. Its now approx 10cm and im not sure of its sex (catfish are not my thing) but im leaning towards female. I guess I need other peoples opinion before searching for a partner as I dont want to end up with same sex pepps.

    Cheers Apistoguy

    Thanks Jothy, it only seems to have small bristles around the front of the mouth/lips. It definately doesnt have large bristles all over the head.

    So from the pic I posted, im guessing it doesnt show enough to identify properly. I can try for a better pic next time its out and about.

    If it is a girl, and all seems likely, do you have any large males for sale?

    cheers Wayne

    if it has bristles go up the middle of its nose like a mowhawk it's a boy

    if it just has brisles around the front of its lip it's a lebanese female hahahaha
