Decided going to keep two pairs, one of the sky blue colours and another of the purple colours. Will keep another few extra females on, just in case as well, oh and the two babies. They'll stay. Operation sex the rest for rehoming begins LOL.

See if you can get nice close ups of the females to see if you can spot the egg casing. It's usually easier to see in paler females and is a triangular shape. If you can't see it then you may be able to see that the area where it should be is more raised than it would be on a male ........best of luck lol

Is that in the same place where the white spot is? It always confuses me sexing that way because males have the spot too LOL.

No it's not the spot. You can see it here in these two pics of different females.

I've marked the area here on Dori

Just looked back at the pic of the female I posted, so I assume the lighter area is the egg casing?

by **Netty** Mon 22 Jun 2009 - 21:03

Is that the one in the second pic down of them in their tubs. It does look like she has that triangular bit. See if you can get a closer pic. With paler girls you you can actually see the eggs in the casing thumbup
