Dendrochirus zebra sexual differentiation

[dpieroni]

Anybody knows how I can recognize a male from a female?
I have one in my 80 gallon tank and I want to add a second one in order to make a mae pair.
Any info?
I did a web search but no usefull information appear..
Anybody breeding them?
thanks

Unfortunately you CANNOT tell males from females. These D. Zebra have no sexual dimorphism.
Do you want to consider D brachypterus instead?
I suspect if you can get a pair they will breed like D. Brachypterus, please read the lionfish info sheet

Big Question

Big Question

is there a quick way to see if I introduce another zebra in my aquarium, if it is male or female?
If I introduce another male, will they fight int hte same moment ot they can take a while?
How can I realize if I am introducing a male or a female? Is there a way to see this?
thanks
