Re: how to tell sp 44 male and females apart?
The males are much more colorful than the females. The females have an ovipositor or a small nipple on their belly. These fish are mouth brooders and spawn at a very young age, around 1.5 in.

Re: how to tell sp 44 male and females apart?
Are you talking about victorian species? In most vics the male will have most of the color and have egg spots on the tail. I keep 3 species of them and hoping to get more.

Re: how to tell sp 44 male and females apart?
As long as you have plenty of hiding spaces for each, they should be ok, The dominate one will always show more color, it would be that way even in a big tank with males and females.
