vic622 Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hi All, I'd like some help sexing some A. rivultus (Green Terror) juvies. There's about 20 of them and they range from 1" - 2 1/2" and although it's easy to tell the males from the females when they're larger (their parents tails are very different, along with a distinct size difference, m-6", f-4"), I can't tell on these smaller critters. What should I look for? I tried to take some pics, but I can't get a clear enough or close enough shot to post. I'd like to give a m-f pair to a neighbour who lost their 6yr old oscar. Help & thanks, Vic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hi Vic, you'd be better off giving your neighbour 6-8 juvies, and allow them to pair off on their own. (he can then remove the rest) Not all males & females will bond to form a pair. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH Hi Neil, I'm going to be taking them to an LFS in Cranbrook to help support my habit , but I promised a pair to the neighbour - I suppose I could cull a few more from the herd ... BTW, I started them on ground-up frozen shrimp, and once they got bigger (about 1/2") changed them to NLS - big difference in appetite and color once I changed.

Fishnut Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 How much are you selling them for? I'm in Cranbrook too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic622 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 How much are you selling them for? I'm in Cranbrook too. Hi Fishnut, How does $5/ea or 6 for $20 strike you? They are about 2 months old right now and looking strong. Since I put them on NLS Grow, they've started to pick up the turquoise/green highlights and the spots on their fins. BTW, I'm out Jaffray way. Vic P.S. - I've PM'd you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
