Sexing Geophagus Altifrons

Hi All,

I currently have 4 geophagus altifrons "Aruipuana" which I purchase from SLS about 12 months ago. They are currently about 20cms in length.

Is there any way of telling the differences between males and females. I've tried looking at finnages, head shapes and even looking at the vents. They all look the same to me. Have a feeling I've got a bunch of males coz' their finnages are extremely long.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Jeffrey

long fins and humps on heads = males

could ave got all males or you have just raised them well
either way they should have paired off by now if you had some females
