About LinkBacksAny experts out there that can aid me in figuring out the sex of my long fin GBR's? Is it any different than sexing regular GBR's? I have four but am almost 95% sure that they are all males. I'm going by the fact that none have pinkish belly hues....but altogether I maybe goin at it all wrong. I would luv to hear from the GBR Guru himself...aka(Richard)!!

Nice looking males you got there. as i said they are easy to tell apart, i goggled rams, then clicked pics. here is one i found. not the best angle but easy to see the difference. if the pic was from the front you would be able to see the female has a round body. Cheers

Yes. once you see a female it will be obvious. one thing though, if your rams pair off and try to breed, the male will not tolerate any other males around. maybe if your tank if really big you might be ok. i tried to run to pairs in my 55g it was not good i lost 2 males and a female due to bullying. down to one male one female. they just chased them to death
