it just means you don't have any of that kind. like, it wouldn't be as clear to say 1..3 as to say 1.0.3 (if you mean 1 male, no females, and 3 unsexed). also, usually unsexed means baby, but sometimes it can just mean you haven't determined their gender. for example, all of my catfish are adults, but they aren't breeding, so i don't know what gender they are for sure, since they aren't really visually sexable.

o, almost forgot, when people have only 2 spots (like 1.2), it means that it's just males.females . it's just a little less common to be selling unsexed in groups with sexed individuals, (requiring all three). (since unsexed usually just gets sold in groups or individually.)

hey, no problem. it works like this:

#males.#females.#unsexed

(e.g., i have 2 female sugar gliders)
