    Wecome to the forum To answer your question there are a few differences between males and females. On adult fish males tend to be a little more colourful. Females appear to more round in the belly region. Male anal fins are red and black/blue stripes where as females are red and clear stripes.

    Sorry for the delay in answering I got my live foods Micro worm and Paramecia from a friend of mine. He doesn’t normally part with any cultures but as i explained the situation regarding these fish he kindly consented to give me some. ste12000 is right in what he say’s the micro worm culture does smell a bit, but it is worth it as i watch my fry eagerly hunt the tiny worms.

    I have found that feeding a combination of different foods ( live/frozen and flake ) gives the best results. LIVE FOOD Micro worm and Paramecia FROZEN FOOD Cyclops FLAKE FOOD Liquifry No3 I also use Liquifry No 1 to seed the tank prior to spawning This encourages infusoria so that when fry reach free swimming stage there is some food available
