None known.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Re: sexing question
lol typical im sure there are ways to find out but im not willing to cut open my favorite puffers ( i dont realy play favorites but my first puffer and my favorite puffer happen to be the pair of figure 8s although shark beat and karma are almost level for favorite but i need to get to know shark bait better so the figure 8s hold a speical spot slightly infronto f the rest not by much but its there)

Re: sexing question
You could take them to a specialized vet and have an ultrasound perform. It'd be a lot of money/effort, though, not to mention stress on the fish.

Hehe- I tried to get my renter's insurance to cover my fish if they died in the event of a power outage, fire etc. They said no dice.
You could always just buy your own ultrasound machine like Tom Cruise did
