How To Differentiate Between A Male
Catfish And A Female Catfish
Catfish have bony flat heads and
cylindrical-shaped bodies. They live in freshwater in such areas as rivers and
streams and are typically found near the bottom of the water. Catfish males and
females, for the most part, look very similar unless you
become familiar with what to look for.
If you are looking to raise these fish or catch them you may want to know the
difference between the two. You may want to avoid
catching a female fish that is real
plump since she is probably holding many eggs.
When raising catfish, you will need to
know the difference between male and female in
order to make sure that they are able
to procreate.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Look at the
size of adult catfish. Male catfish are smaller and narrower than female
catfish. The females can grow up to 1 inch
larger than males.
2. Notice the
width of the catfish body. Female catfish are wider than males by
1 1/2 inches
in the belly area. The extra room is needed to carry many eggs. The female
catfish is also rounder than the male catfish.
3. Analyze the
size of the head of adult catfish. The head of male catfish will be larger and
wider than the female catfish. The male catfish's head can be up to 1 inch larger.
4. Check out
the dorsal fins of catfish. Male catfish will have longer fins than that of
females. Males will also have brighter colored fins.
