Hi Ron:

In addition to the appearance of color in the unpaired fine, one of the
"Tricks" in sexing Epipltys is to hold the fish up to backlight and look at
the edge of the anal fin. The males will have a darker shading at the edge,
the females will not show this.  It is common for both sexes to exhibit the
bars in the body as juviniles.

Hi all,
  Is anyone familiar with this species especially how to sex them when
young. I bought two (sight unseen) through the web thinking I was getting a
sexed pair. I got two small (1 inch ) rather nondistict fish. The vertical
stripes are distinct in both and one (the dominant fish) seems to have a bit
of color (pale yellow orange) in the caudal,anal and dorsal fins. Would this
be the male? The other ones fins appear almost clear. They were sold to me
as E. sexfasciatus mile 11. Any info would be appreciated as well as web
sources for good color pictures.                          thanks........Ron
