Hi,
After doing more research I decided to get a pair of Kribensis for my tank.
Yesterday when I went to the store I had a choice of 4, so I picked 2 hoping to get a Male and Female. I think one is defintely a male (on the right) - the other one I'm not so sure about.
Can anyone with more knowledge take a look at the photo, the 3 pictures on the left are the same fish. If you need better pictures - I'll try again, but they hide a lot !
Thanks,
Ian.

Looks like a femme. Round belly and very red-pink.

I managed to get a photo of them both - so do you think the one on the left in the pot is definitely male, and the other one a female ?
Thanks.

Yes. Spots on tails are generally male; bright red bellies female.

This is a photo of the one I thought was a male.
Is it definitely female ? - as one post said it could be male.
(You can probably tell I really wanted a pair :))
Thanks again,
Ian

IMHO, I still think it is a female.

That's definitely a male...look at the shape of its ventral, anal, and dorsal fins...
Females unparalleled fins are a lot shorter and rounded.
Gotz yo' self a pair

i agree that you have a pair. males also have some red/pink on the tummies. so you have a pair IMO

In the first set of pictures, the one on the right is definitely a male. And the other is definitely a female. I am 100% sure.
