male or female?

[mcgreg]

Hi everyone!
My question is about how to recognize the male discus and the female discus?
where is the different? where i must look to find the male or female?

It is difficult to tell unless you see them during spawning. Even the experts are not correct all the time. Don t.

well, when a fish lays eggs, thats a female, if a fish fertilizes them and you get fry thats a male. Other than that, its about a 50% chance of being right.

You never know for sure a male and female until you have a confirmed pair. However there are traits to look for but sometimes they are wrong and get you thinking.

After breeding discus for awhile one can make some pretty accurate guesses but until you have a fertile spawning pair you won't know for sure even if you are experienced. There are exceptions that prove the best guesser can be wrong.
