Guess fish's gender! Win fabulous prizes!

[bttsstewart]

My two current goldfish (uploading pic later), are currently in a small aquarium, but I plan to move them to a pond once it's done in our new house.

Can anyone see any signs of gender from future pic, or will I have to wait until actual spawning time to be able to tell?
They are about 15cm long from head to tail.

I'd be very interested to know what goes into breeding goldfish if I can, though I might not bother 'cause I have no idea what I'd do with the new fish, but It'd be fun to know the possibility is there.

The one on the bottom of the picture is an albino. ;-) Loved that once since day one.

Hm, why won't the pics upload? Can someone help?

I ran into the same thing and was given a prompt that I had to have more than 5 posts. I see you have six now, so you may be able to do it if you try it again.

Yeah, I tried; it just got stuck on the "uploading images; please wait" bit and then after about ten minutes said "Internet explorer cannot display this webpage", so obviously it's a problem with MY internet browser...

I'll bet your file is too large or not listed.

It's a JPEG, 1.65 MB... problomatic?

How are you trying to upload it. You need to put it on a photo sharing site first, such as photobucket.com and then you link to your photo. You don't upload photos directly to GPF. Not sure if this is part of what you're experiencing?

yep...146.5 kb is the size limit for jpegs your way over sized do you have paint, photo shop etc..? you dont need a photo share site. you just need to drag it to your desktop (makes it easier to find) and use your photo editing on your computer and resize it.

OH...if you should want to share video.. you will have to get a youtube account and upload it there and then embed it here by copy and pasting its url code.

I take it you don't know the difference between Million (MB) and Thousand (KB)?

So you have anytype of camera software (Nikon, Kodak or photoshop) All you need to do is change the resolution size of your image. You must be using a SLR camera. I run into that issue all the time.

Okay, done that; I'll upload it on a new thread now. Thanks for your advice.
