Albino tiger barbs

As ive had them a couple of weeks now theyre colours are showing up really nicely. But ive noticed a couple of them has illuminous orange fins and other dont so im assuming that these are the differences in sex, but i cant find info on sexing them anywhere so thought Is post on here incase anyone knows??

Thanks

Found this 'elsewhere', it might help.

Sexing: When mature, male tiger barbs will show bright red noses, his dorsal fin will have a red line above the mainly black fin and his ventral fins will turn bright red. When in spawning condition or fighting for a higher “rank” in the shoal, the males stripes turn a slight metallic green colour. And the tips to his upper body scales turn almost black and shine bright orange in certain light.
The females however, keep their pale yellow noses (may turn slightly pale red at times, which makes it tricky to determine their sex in store). They only show a small area of red at the tip of the dorsal fins, and ventral fins will stay pale red. In females, their stripes stay black.

yeh i found that one as well, thanks diana, mine have bright orange noses`so could be the same i assume?

How many of them do you have phishy? Are you going to breed them - it seems this is a fertile forum :lol:

ive got 6 tardis, theyre lovely fish, although VERY lively lol

I really liked my tiger barbs and green tiger barbs but they all died at exactly the same time I think it was down to a power surge though.

I reckon you are right - the ones with bright orange noses will be males. Hey hope they do breed for you!

yeh i do too lol
