how can i tell if my fish are male or female??

Question

I have 2 Jewel Fish, a Blue Terror, and a Florida Gar....i've been having them for like 5 months already. I see many people asking questions about their male/female fish....How do they know this?? I have no clue if any of my fish are male or female...how can i tell???

Answer 1

Blue terror male should have a hump and is brighter color than its female counterpart ;got red fringes on its tail.
As for Gar, female is larger than the male. You can only compare when you saw it in the aqua shop with a few to select.

Answer 2

you can tell by the color if one is darker than the other, must of the time the male fish is prettier than the female.

Answer 3

most of the time male fish are more colorful and sometimes you can tell if they have a pectoral fin and sometimes you cant tell hope this helps
