Does anyone know how to tell the difference between a male and female Green Terror? Lately mine has been roaming around the tank with something hanging out of his/her back end... didn't know if it is a sexual organ showing or what... here is a video:

both male and female gts have the same colouration on them. the females tend not to get as large as the males. so for your setup that is probably a good thing. the bad news is that females tend to be more aggressive than their male counterparts which could be a bad thing.

hope some of this helps ya.....

i read the males were much more colorful... and the females more drab.
you guys are awesome. my gf really wanted to get him/her a buddy, but with as much stress as this chica is causing, i figured it would not be a good idea.
is a 60 gallon enough room for a pair of GTs alone? (i figure it isn't, but apparantly i don't know sh** )
