So thats what that was for LOL ... I was really starting to wonder what type of fish you were going to stick in there and use that thing for... make sure you make some larger holes for any of your fish which might get larger than expected

Male cons are the ones with the longer beard like fins right? Can someone describe the sex difference, I couldnt find this even in all these threads !

Females have orange stomachs. Males do not. Sexing complete.

I went to my lfs, and looked at 3" cons, and didnt notice any orange on any of them ??? that cant be all ???

i have some that are 1.5-2in and they are showing. the orange on the belly is the easiest way to tell. the first pic is very easy to tell but the second not so much. these are just for reference i drove myself crazy for about three weeks looking for a female con before i knew how to sex them but when you see the orange you will know
