mr_jman Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Wouldn't there be a difference within the reproduction on the underside of the fish? Not sure about that. Since they school together I wonder what type of behavior difference there would be if any. During the spawn there probably is. Females move in and lay eggs first than males move in to protect nests. Other than that I dont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew chadwick Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 during spawn time males get darker than the females. Females can often be told apart from males by stomach size- if it has a big belly it likley is a female with eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
