Guest dmhosea Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 At the risk of asking an incredibly silly question... I have to do it. I have a gorgeous black moor. Is there a way I can tell what sex it is? I've tried to find an answer here but may be looking in the wrong place. Thanks! Deanna RN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member d_golem Posted October 22, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 22, 2005 There's a couple of ways of determining the sex of ur fish: 1. If ur fish is already mature (1 year+), a male will have breeding tubercles on his perctoral fins and gill plates. 2. A female will have an "outie" anus & a male will have an "innie" anus 3. A male's first ray of the pectoral fin is thicker than female's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member dknygrlie4 Posted October 23, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2005 sounds like male...they look like white pimples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member lcwinne Posted October 23, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2005 He is definately a male. These are really tiny kind of white they don't really look raised like pimples and definately not the breeding stars. Looks like someone poked him with a pin several times on each side. We've had him a year this past July. dmhosea I hope I didn't tread on your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
