Good evening to all.
Just wondering if there is a preference over the gender of the goldfish. |

Well I'm not too sure about goldish but sex determination in some fishes is more than just genetically determined.Enviromental which include temperature is one of such factors.Here is a article on danio...aka zebra fish and an interesting write-up on sex determination in some fishes,
Note that the incubation temperature has some influence on the percentage of gender determination.Higher temp translate higher prportion of male hatching.Maybe you can experiment on this aspect to enhance your preferred sex Here the article http://www.rbej.com/content/3/1/63#IDAUHLYF |
