Senroc Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Out of curiosity how do you identify its a female? I have 2 in my tank that I'm told are a male and female. The one is quite a bit larger than the other so I assume that's one way to tell. Other than that though I'm not sure how else to identify that.

Cracher Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Many severum males (except for some of those weird line-bred types) have squiggles over their faces and gill plates. A clear face is likely female. Some people say that you can tell by face shape (females have pointier faces), but they all look about the same to me. I find older males are much wider in the chest.
