And even though I have no plans on killing them, When you said that, were you indicating that you would keep them around to breed?...or just that you dont like the idea of killing them.

Im not going to kill them, however, I may remove them from the colony.

Thank you for your help.

Ratio don't matter. It's a selling point to trick people to buy more fish. Even with good ratio, some females within a colony will not breed. Same for males, if you have a decent size tank then multiple males will breed.

Additionally, females that have never held have small vents. Males something have big vents. Venting is not a 100% way to determine sex.

Lastly, where or from whom did you buy these "WC" dubs form? What are their collection point?

[SunnyHouTX]

Yeah, can't see the pictures even if I click on them

[TroPhish]

Hey thanks man. Ill text you pictures.

And ratio isn't something Im worried about. I was just trying to culll one or two undesirable males to position a male of choice to do the breeding.

And these came from AGA. Same exporter that a couple of other major importers use. I understand that they very well may not be "WC". However, that is what they were sold as and to be honest, I wouldnt know where to find any as nice other wise.

So all i wanted to do was take what I have and make the best out of it.

Thanks man.
