can someone guess the sex of my 2 fish?

[Cooldadddyfunk286]

machine77 just posted a topic like this, I had it in my mind all day to take pics and post this tonight, just noticed that he posted the same type of topic after I took the pics lol. so im not a copycat guys!!! anyway, heres some pics of my 2 fish Im having a hard time figuring out the sex. this blue scorpion and pigeon are fighting over the penang eruption. my best guess is that the penang is the male, and the BS and CBP are 2 females. the pigeon is always cleaning the filter tubes, and staring at the tubes, shaking. and the penang kinda just sits back and watches real close, or chases away the other fish. all 3 seem to be getting very territorial. the penang used to just chill but now hes very "chasey". my best guess, just based on what type of behavior that I see in the tank is PE male, CBP female?? BS female?? haha I REALLY DONT KNOW YET GUYS! I know I have to really wait for the eggs to come...and I know they still have a good bit of maturing to do. but I wanna see what you all think as an educated guess. **all pics taken after lights went out, in semi sleep mode**

thanks alot!!

You eihter have two males and a female or two females and a male. My females are the first to start shaking for courtship. Maybe your hunch is right. The ones that are fighting are more than likeky the same sex.

Good thread. I just wrote a thread about same sex aggression.

Hi Jason,

Scoop the fish up and place it on big wet spoonge and observe the fish's breeding tube.

yeah hendri, thats what I was kinda thinkin...but then again the pigeon seems to act most like a female to me. always shakin, and cleaning and staring at the filter tubes. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. anyone else?:o

Not sure about the sexes but those look like some top quality discus. Wouldn't mind having them in my tank. Good luck with them.
