| I agree with it being a sub dominant male. The other male does seem to have a bit of a kink starting just after the adipose fin, but it could be just some distortion through the bag  . |

| As Curby said it's not a problem and does not stop him being a healthy fish but ideally you would not use him for breeding due to the risk of it being genetic rather then an injury. |

| this pic looks pretty female to me....  Also looks just like my female brown rose..  And doug is right about the kink in the tail well 90% As they can be damaged from about 2cm's as i found out when i used a syphon to remove the young and when got trapped and as a result its tail got bent...but you cant be 100% sure how its happened so i would stick with doug and buy a different male from another source.... _________________  Dont Forget to hit the AquaRank Logo at the top of the forum page it looks just like this.VVV...........
