What color and sex is this crestie?

koashmar Aug 28, 2005 10:14 PM

I'm thinking female...but I'm still a little inexperienced at sexing them. What do you think?

I'm interested to know the color/morph s/he is as well.

Thanks!

how old is your crested? how much does it weigh? if it's over 20g, you can be reasonably sure it's a female.

Whew! lol I don't have a clue...

I was wracking my brain trying to remember what day I brought her home on, but can't for the life of me recal. It was either last December or January, I believe. She's a pretty hefty gal and has grown considerably, but I don't have anything to weigh her on.

Based on the age, would you say it's safe to assume it's a female?

What precautions do I need to take when adding additional cresties, other than making sure they're similar sized? I have heard one male for every two females in my size tank (29g). Sound ok to ya'll?

Thanks again.
