	Love is in the air
Brengun Big Fish Posts: 355 Kudos: 187 Votes: 110 Registered: 22-Jun-2007	Edited by Brengun I tried to pick a male and female royal whiptail (Sturisoma Panamense) at the lfs two days ago and it looks like I picked well, despite these being my very first royals. Love is in the air as the female at the bottom is all over the male at the top. She likes him. She likes him a lot.

The male's face should appear fuzzier than that of the female, and I think I can kind of see that. That's cool. IME, fish at the LFS aren't often in good condition enough to be able to sex them. Maybe you should get a PVC pipe and see if the male starts chilling out in there! -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

They always seem to be hoovering either the glass or the plants, and they don't swim and hide like bn's do. Why was I bothering with bn's who hide when all along I could have had royal whiptails? Oh, thats right royals cost $40 and bns can be less than a quarter of that.
