I have 14 yellow tailed acei that I raised from fry. They are getting to be 1-1.5 inches big. There are some that are clearly larger and more colored that others. Could these be the males? I want to keep just 1 male and 3 females. Is there any other way to gender them?

You could try venting them individually.

males are usually larger with alot more white on there dorsal fin

I'll give that a try.

I've got a bunch of Yellow tail fry as well...they are only about half inch long, so hopefully I've got some nice looking fish. But my female adult Acei are much darker than the males, with the males having a more bright yellow on their dorsal fins

My males and females were virtually identical.

I'll have to vent them then. Thanks.
