Hello! I want this thread to help people figure out how their fish work as far whether they are a hermaphrodites or have seperate sexes, please if i mess up on something or you have something you want to add please add it.
Clownfish: hermaphrodites start off genderless and become male, or female depending on partner of dominance of fish, sex change once female is irreversible.
Mandarin fish: have two seperate sexes from birth to my knowledge with the male having a higher dorsal fin.
Angel fish: hermaphrodite, to my knowledge most start as female and if they become dominant become male.
Clown gobies: hermaphrodite change gender depending on partner and can be male or female but is not permanent.
Shrimp goby: not emtirely sure but i believe they have seperate genders.
Watchman gobies: may need someone with more experience to answer this one as ive heard conflicting info
Neon gobies: may need someone with more experience to answer this one as ive heard conflicting info.
Damselfish: ive heard they are born whatever sex the will be but others input would help
Smaller basslets: most are hermaphrodites that can go either way
Wrasses: most most are hermaphrodites switching from female to male but ive heard bird wrasses and larger hogfish have seperate sexes as well as sexual domorphism.
Anthias: hermaphrodites switching from female to male.
Trigger fish: not sure on these.
File fish: most have seperate genders sexes to my knowledge.
Larger groupers: i believe most are hermaphrodites changing sex with age.
Moray eels: i believe the ribbon variety are hermaphrodites but have no clue on the other species.
Lionfish: i believe they have seperate sexes.
Blennies: no clue
More will be added later, including inverts.
