You will not be able to sex them accurately until they are about 8 months of age. One reason why apistos command a premium price for a small fish. The time and effort to raise them is alot.
hi guys.. just to share.. after since i sold off the parents..
my 2 sole survival from 1st batch and the 2nd batch of fries are being raised in a 1ft cube.
the 2 sole survival are around 1month old.. 1 being slightly bigger and the other smaller..
the bigger one.. colour starting to show on his cheek.. size around 1.8cm.
the smaller one.. darker in colour and no colour yet.. size 1.5cm
fries from the 2nd batch are around 2weeks old.. all hiding among the moss. thus, did'nt manage to take picture of them..

oh okay... 8 months and they are consider adult? was wondering should i move 1 piece to another tank? as i guess the bigger one is being domiant and thus, even the smaller one is also a male.. it might turn into a sneaker..
am i right to say that?
8 months to reach sexual maturity. Which means they are easier to sex by then. Within a brood, some may not reach adult hood yet. Sneakers usually happens when they reach sexual maturity.
