Bartlett's anthias m/f?

[shifty51008]

anyone have pics to show the diffrences between the males and females? I got a trio from fosters and smith but I am not sure if they are all male or females or what. they all look the same except for size. they don't fight or anything just scared if more than one is male I may be in trouble later on.

Thanks
Sam

I've had 3 for 2 years now and honesty cannot tell the difference, one is definitely larger though. However too my knowledge the males are typically more pink / less yellow.

No photo, but you should be just fine for a while. Just keep them fat and hopefully your tank is large enough that they will be fine. It's best to do this kind of research before making a purchase

Announce thanks for the info.

29reef I did do research on them, however when you order them from fosters and smith you can't order specific a male or female with these. unless from DD

I did find photo's of a male and female though and from the looks of it I do have 1 male and 2 females.
