I've read that you can tell the sex of ropefish by their color. I have seen rope fish that are kind of olive green, and others that are more reddish brown. Is there any truth to this? If not, what is the best way to determine their sex?

Since they don't breed in aquariums does it matter? Here's a good link for general info:

I've heard the best way to do it is to count the rays on one of their fins...
now, I can't remember which fin or how many rays, but I'm sure a bit of googling could find that
