my MW has white bars and is about 3" does this sound like a female. I'd like a mated pair but I don't know how to sex them. Help anyone?
 
characterstics of male/female MW

Feel free to interject anyone if this doesn't sound right. What I'm hearing is that a MW while it is young is female, as they are sexually dimorphic, and has 4 or 5 white vertical bars along its length. The female fish loses these white bars and adds size and color as it changes to male.
