Sexing mandarins...

[afboundguy]

Does anyone know how old mandarins need to be before you can properly sex them based on their front fin? My baby mandarin is around 6 months old and it looks like she's really a she based on the front fin but not sure if it's still too early to tell...

You can tell when they are under 1” for sure as the ones that are aquaculture come in super tiny and they can be sexed at that age so super young

Great thanks. I figured she was old enough and big enough to be sexed properly just wanted to make sure!
