I've noticed that some of the rosy barbs in my lfs have longer flowing fins, while others look more "normal." Why is this? Is it a male/female distinction? If so, which is which?

The long-finned look beautiful, but I'd be careful about their attitudes. Sometimes fish with longer fins (longfinned danios, gourami, angelfish, bettas) have a tendency to nip other fish's fins...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

Correction iltat, fish with long fins tend to have a problem with other fish nipping their fins. However, sometimes longfinned fish may be a little nippy, the problem is usually the other fish finding food in them.
