| Contrary to what some people say I am yet to have a female common or variant with bristle. That have always been males. Usually the larger ones with small bristles are sub male. If you put them with a cave and an actual female the bristles grow quickly |

| yeah, im with Kfenk, i reckon you have two males
the other way to tell is body shape. Females are more plump and rounded. Males are much more torpedo shaped with straight sides.
for diagrams check out, see in my book. link in my sig _________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable
