FollyFish Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hello I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this Tailspot Blenny is a male or female? This is the best pic I have so far. If a better pic is needed tell me what to get and I can try again. Link to comment
RayWhisperer Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I don't know of any sexual dimorphism in any of the Escenius species besides actual genital papilla. Not something I'd try on such a tiny fish. Link to comment
Droy008 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 ^ What ray said, some people have paired up TSB's, and they will breed in tank. But pairing was simply luck/trial and error. Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 See if you can dig up the article that says male TSB have small filaments on the top and bottom of their tail while females do not. My TSB would regularly become gravid and she did not have filaments. Here's a video of a spawning pair. It's potato quality, but you can just make out the filaments on the male's tail.

FollyFish Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Thank you everyone for your replies. I think that I have a male Tailspot Blenny as mine has a filament on the top and bottom of his tail.
