New Pair of Mali Uros

BrianT Apr 28, 2004 10:28 AM

These guys just showed up this morning. I was a little disappointed because they appear to be 1.1 and I had ordered 0.2. Oh well, at least they have good body weight and appear healthy. Enjoy!

Pic #3 of 3. I'm hoping maybe the "male" is actually a male mimic female, although I highly doubt it.

Well, maybe you'll get lucky! I'm having doubts about my "female" Mali, but danged if I can tell! They look the same under the skirts to me. And looking at photos at Doug Dix's site, I would have thought most of his females are males.

Congrats! They're very good looking, whatever the sexes.

Decided to check and see how the undersides of my two new Mali's compared. The one that I had thought was a male appears to actually be a female. There appear to be no bulges present, infact, just after his vent, it's a little sunken in. I checked out the definate female and her underside is the same as the other's, except she seems MUCH more filled out and there's no sunken area after her vent. If I get a chance later this afternoon, I'll take some photos and post them.
