Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations OTS CNBG club?

CC, that's a male.

He's got the black scale tipping, the heavy brow(helmet), elongated ear tab, heavy chin, and just a bigger CNBG than most females.

I thought, but confirmed with Todd this week, that CNBG females will also have a yellow tint to the pectoral fins and chest area when they're ready to get ready. Not fin tipping like a HBG, just the actual coloring itself.

Also put me in the noob category. I'm trying to learn to sex CNBG at a smaller size, but it just takes time. Most of the pics posted here are of larger BG, so a side by side comparison of smaller fish is working for me. The problem is my larger CNBG are more aggressive, so it's hard to catch the smaller ones.
