Acanthurus Pyroferus Sexing

[FFalas]

Hi all, picked up this little Juvenile fella a couple of months ago.. stunning fish and amazingly personable (eating straight off the baster within a week). Can anyone help me understand how to sex this fish? Prob wont be embarking on the mating journey but interested nonetheless..

Cheers! F

I can't think of any Acanthurid that is sexually dimorphic or dichromatic. That being said. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN!

Wuld have thought it might have been like most tangs..maybe i thout the fact it were mimicking another specie it could have inherited sexing of that specie aswell but that would ve been odd. Thx for the appreciation guys, yes he is absolutely amazing! Nicest and most personable fish i ever had.. Cant even take a pic without him trying to make it in the photo now cant get him to eat nori though..is there a way to train them to this? Have tried the clips and iding it amongst rocks to look natural to no effect
