Opistognathus randalli

[Terryz_]

Hi all...

Is there anyway to distinguish the sex?

Are they sexually dichromatic or hermaphroditic?

I am trying to pair up the 2 that i have... But they just stay in their own burrow...

But the bigger one will open the mouth towards the smaller one when they bump into each other... No biting and chasing...
After the confrontation, they just ignore each other...

Thanks...

I can't find a fish w/ that scientific name. I assume you have some type of jawfish.
