Kostas,
Mine did not start showing real dimorphism until they reached about 7 inches. Males have long cheek spines and pectoral spines. Look in the Cat-ELog for photos.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply Shane :wink:
At my L200 i see some pectoral fin spine growth but the cheek spines are short for the moment.
Do females L200 have pectoral fin spines or not?I cant see it clearly at the catelog and i dont know which are males and which females :?

Thank you in advance
