Wild fishes are more hard to accept dried or frozen food. If still not eating, try feeding live food.
never say never! haha. thanks for the affirmation Quixotic.
i just started Miracle Baby MQ4 treatment on my pair as the alpha male is acting worryingly. his poo is not white and stringy per se, but it is like black balls connected by the "white string" such that it looks like a string of beads. i also don't see him eating the NLS Thera+A that i bought (though the female loves it!) and the only time he appears from hiding is when he's attacking/chasing the female.
hopefully wild fishes aren't too sensitive to chemical medication

God will make a way, where there seems to be no way
it eats frozen bloodworms, and the female takes the dried food readily. reason i was feeding the NLS Thera+A is because of suspected internal bacteria, but since he won't take it, i commenced chemical medication instead
what does a large black blotch near the tail (but still on the body) on the lower half of the body mean? my male has become more active after i started dosing the anti internal parasite, but is showing the dark blotch
haha i didn't think it was a sign of disease, was just curious why the male was showing it and the female wasn't, and the pictures didn't really show it either. maybe it only appears during stress, like how apistos turn dark?
Ok. Not really. It appears in their normal colouration. Mine too not very obvious.

More photos. Can't get enough of him. Addictive subject and now I'm inclined towards photography. A hobby to another.

he's so lovely! hope mine turns out well too your fish was what got me interested in this species haha
Here is another pic of my female. From this angle, it does look like a female to me, based on Quixotic's explanation.

looks like a female to me too jacian congrats on your (almost) confirmed pair! now for them to breed!
i really hope mine turn out like ruisheng's...his photos of his male are what inspired me to get my pair
found another indicator of male/female eremnopyge in my random surfing during lunch hour:

Mike Wise should be rather reliable right?
mmm.... no markings on the caudal. Mine is showing faint markings.

hmm...i just went to stare really hard at mine and saw some faint markings too...jacian's pic shows some too
An updated picture of the 'female', now it seems to be a male already.

looks female to me too. ventrals ending before anal fin, short end of dorsal and anal fin. the only worrying thing is that the tail looks like it may be forking out but it's frayed so i can't be sure
Well, after seperating the male from it, it has developed much in terms of colour and finage. Below is the latest pic, anyone still think it is a female?
