Their alot like the plain Zeb
The male has egg spots and a taped anil finn but i think the f male can have spots but usaly the male has taped fins top and bottam
so have a good look its esy when you know how lol
I may sound a bit uneducated here but what does taped in regards to fish fins mean???
He means tapered, as in tapered to a sharp point at the end of the dorsal fin.
Also the males are a very nice powder blue and the females more of a blue grey.

hey,
egg spots are not always the most accurate way to sex a fish since i have seen many a female have more egg spots than the male.
The most common way of sexing fish now positively is vent sexing.
Here is a good article i have posted on the old forum before.
