hey guys, my unstoppable questioning five year old son asked me today, in one of his fifty thousand daily questions, why some of my fish have some long fins, like at the end of the dorsal fin, and some don't.
and i didn't know the answer, but the two females i have are nice and round, and the two males have this things, am i correct on assuming this long "tails" at the end of their fins are only seen in males?
i have been looking through breeders pairs stock and in most cases this is the norm.

what do you think?

thank you

Yup the females will have rounded dorsals and the males will have a more pointed. Some males will have long streamers.
