Besides the obvious, it baffled me. I thought they were males

Wendy

The first three Wendy have more tail after their anal opening and their tails are wider then the female.

dizzywend · 10-06-2007, 10:03 PM

I can see now their tails are wider but tbh I thought 2 and 4 were similar.
Thats why I rarely give my opinions lol

Me either, Wendy - I'll never get this sexing thing right. I thought that 1 and 3 had a wider shaped anal scute and 2 and 4 were tighter, narrower V's - does that mean anything?

The anal scute opening doesn't seem to mean as much with Russians and Marginateds Nina
