Is my taiwan reef a male or female?

Post by floriken »

Just saved this little guy from a local pet store, it was all alone in the tank and totally out of place. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed it's a male - these fish are absolutely stunning.

To me, the fins look like a male's. Got a pic without the blue tint, would love to see it?

I'd agree with you both, seems like a male to me, but I could be off.

Managed to snap another pic, still super fast and camera shy though.

Looks like a male to me too, but I'm not always right.
