Re: Rainbowfish - how to tell the gender?

Thanks Ryan.

I have 3 boesemani.
I have 2 yellow rainbowfish (definitely male - they already showing decent color).
I have 2 australian rainbow (also both male).

Im told the males will get more intense coloration over time.
Its the boesemani Im a little upset about. I like the ones that get the front half blue and the back half yellow. Im not sure if the ones I have are male or female. But even if they are juvies, I cant see half blue and half yellow....is this possible it will change as they grow a little bit? Theyre about 2 inches in length.

If they were males, would I already see the half blue/half yellow?

I got these fish over the course of the last 2 weeks...you think they just need time to settle in? They otherwise seem fine and go nuts when I put some food in the tank!
