I currently have 26 frys in a 140L Tote and they will be 5 months old on New Year's Eve. I was just wondering about the male/female ratio of the frys at a pH of 7.8-8.0 and whether I'd be able to identify the sex of a fry after looking at the coloration on the stomach.
In the tote, I can see lots of frys that have the black horizontal line across the middle of the body and are tan in colour, elsewhere. There is probably 6 that are still less than an inch (I guess), while 1 has a pink/red belly. Is it possible that there is only 1 female (about 5/4") while the others are male (about 1.5"+)?
