Determining kribensis gender

Post by fisher_2 »

Hey guys, i've got a trio of kribensis and i'm pretty sure i've got 2 females and 1 male, can someone take a look and confirm for me? i'm getting some aggression issues.

http/imageshack.us/f/577/img0430lp.jpg/ - and this one too, right?

http/imageshack.us/f/818/img0431qf.jpg/ - and this last one's the male?

1st looks male, dorsal fin's hard to make out though. 2nd is female, agree with you there. 3rd is male, you got that one right.

The first one's a poor pic, but I'm pretty sure it's female now, she's developed a bright cherry pink belly and it's bigger than the males.
