Question
Hi there, i have two silver sharks in a 3ft tank. My question is how do you tell the different between male and female?

Answer
Hey Traz,

Sexing freshwater cats (many of which are called "sharks") is a fairly difficult task. It's so difficult, that you'd be far better off adding a few more of the same size and species shark to your aquarium and hope for the best. In most cases, these freshwater cats will not breed in the home aquarium regardless of sexing out a mated pair. Unfortunately, there is not too much more insight i can offer. Sorry :(

Best wishes.
