Breeding Cichlids
How can i tell the gender of my cichlids?
This is a complex question since different species shows defend gender differences. The only methods that work on all cichlids are to examine their gender openings around the time for spawning. The differences are always presentA but are much easier to identify during the time surrounding a
spawning.A The females have larger broader genitalia while the males are smaller and pointier.
Visit http://www.fishhead.com/articles/ventsex.htm to get more info and pictures about the gender differences found in cichlids. This article is devoted to African cichlids but the basics are the same for all cichlids.
