um, well yeah, males have bristles, females don't.

well to be technical, females can have bristles but they are aalways small and only on the top lip, never running up their nose.

I agree with doug 100%...............

Here's a fully mature female...she's is about 6-7 inches in size, with bristles just around her lip like doug said...

Mate females will have bristles rather none or lots around the lip..but they wont get them up the snout like a male will....

spot on curby Smile

The generation of female birstles is pruely genetic. Its an overflow from the the males having them. its has nothing to do with the water quality or temp
