Male or female? http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/djceri_g/detail?.dir=8ec8re2&.dnm=706bre2.jpg&.src=ph

[samir]

from what I can see in that pic I'd say there is a 50% chance that its definitely a female

[djceri_g]

this one is better! http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/djceri_g/detail?.dir=8ec8re2&.dnm=2357re2.jpg&.src=ph

The one on the right is definitely a female.

[samir]

need at least 3 pictures of the area between the anal and pectoral fins to give you a remotely accurate guess

[DiscusEden]

Or you could read the tabs. They say it's a woman. Shutting up now.

[djceri_g]

Thanks ! am I right iin thinking this is a Red Turk?

[DiscusEden]

Listen to Samir. He (unlike me about this) knows what he's talking about, and I think he's after another pic.

[samir]

red snakeskin ?

[djceri_g]

The pet shop recons its a turk! It was in a tank with turks and malbroughs

[djceri_g]

need at least 3 pictures of the area between the anal and pectoral fins to give you a remotely accurate guess I will get the camera out!

[djceri_g]

look at the bottom fin, can you see a white thing? Is this a white spot or something i should take interest?

[djceri_g]

70 : 30 female :lol:

[djceri_g]

So how can you tell the difference?

[samir]

thats my life's secret :lol: :lol: the female genital area protrudes downwards whereas the male is more straight or upwards, its hard to explain and its not totally accurate. With a picture i can only make a half educated guess. :lol:

[djceri_g]

Fair play mate! Im only new to Discus and love to read about them! so, can you give me advice on how to clean sand? I know it shouldn't be in this post!

[samir]

i have absolutely no idea you'll need to ask the girlie plant people :lol: :lol: they know about substrate and stuff :lol: :lol:

[samir]

Listen to Samir. He (unlike me about this) knows what he's talking about

:shock: most of the time I don't

[djceri_g]

:lol: :lol: :lol: I'm just jealous of them.
Every time I put a plant in, it gets covered in beef heart, throwing it in the bin seems much less complicated than cleaning it, so thats where they usually end up.
