The male Rosy Barb has a black tip to his dorsal fin the female does not. In breeding condition the male is much more rosy than the female. Males are know to have dark areas under them. Plus they are much more pretty than females. Usually males look like females and females look like males.

When they are not in breeding condition Cherry barbs (Puntius titteya) are pretty much the same colour but the female is maybe a bit plumper than the male. Once they come into good breeding condition the male becomes a very bright cherry red but the female remains silvery.

The Odessa Barb (Puntius ticto) is easer to sex when they are groups and in breedling condition so that comparisons can be made. The males are slimmer (more streamlined) than females and the wide red band that runs through the body is considerably brighter in the males when they are ready to breed.

Female rosy barbs tend to be larger in size than male rosy barbs of the same age. Male rosy barbs have a redder colouring than females, meaning that generally the red coloured fish are males, and the yellower ones females. During breeding season, the rosy barb is easily sexed, as the female will swell up with eggs and the males will blush a deeper red.
