Hi Guys,
I have been trying to breed fatheads just to observe them, to no avail. I used to assume two fish are females, but I'm no longer sure. The thing is they look similar unless they become in heat. Could you help me identify them?

I am aware that the males will have black head and color bands, but that is only during breeding, for males that are breeding. Underdevelped males are similair to females

Wish I could help you with your conundrum. Unfortunately, they do not get colorful like most darters do. IMHO, the tubercles are a good giveaway as to the males. I have 6 spotfin shiners in my tank and would like to know which are which, but unless they develop tubercles, I'll probably never know.
