I think it's already an adult or sub-adult. The male paratype was measured at 34.4 mm SL.

Keeping fish as pets can be a rewarding hobby.
Designing and maintaining your aquariums is a wonderful creative outlet.
Watching your fish swim around is both relaxing and fun.
Hi Andy,
Took with flash but the water is tinted. Yeah hoping that I can groom him well. Thanks.

Some development in the colour and finnage department. So far not bad la. And alright the other piece is indeed a female, after some initial skepticism.
At the moment habitating together with a pair of Dicrossus maculatus. Guess who's fiercer?
But hopefully one day will get a quality specimen like the one Yorky showed from An-aquarium. That's quality stuff.
For the time being, this pair is turning out fine. Truth is when I received this pair, I was totally dismay. But now not bad not bad.
Without flash
I liked this shot.

Nice finnage especially on the last photo. Any pics on the female? I still cannot be sure if I got a female or not.

How's your pair?
Came to a conclusion is female not because she has spawned. But based on their developments. Male as you can see made some real development in colours, finnage and body length.
Whereas the other piece, since the first day i had it, there're really no developments till today.
No colour improvement, no real growth in finnage (thank goodness no development in dorsal), no extensions on the caudal, dorsal end does not extend to the caudal, not really growing in body length. It's almost exactly the same as it was just that now it's more nourished. Everything about it looks like a female but absence of black ventrals.
Female.

The male has shown quite some development since the first photo. Any success with the spawning?
Nope. Just occasional chasing.

very nice male! he's certainly developed alot since the first picture.
Well done! What food are you feeding them?
Thank yous. Food secret formula but will share. Mysis shrimp mixed with spirulina. If time permits will hatch bbs. Meantime also trying to let them accept Tropical Asta colour in hope of enhancing the redness.

Turning out to become a good looking fish. There are a few other members that shipped this species back right? How are the progress of them?

Now swimming: Plecos and Apistogrammas
Any benefits in feeding Mysis shrimp? Your male is definitely showing better development than mine.
Although my female did not have any colour/fins development, I still cannot conclude if it is indeed a female.

I've no idea though. I avoid blood worms at all cost. Had more then often infected with internal bacteria. Of course I am not saying that blood worms are the cause.
I'm not sure what's the range of frozen food by Hikari. I've only thought there were frozen bloodworms, mysis shrimps and bbs. Blood worms are out and I'm
hatching bbs so that's why mysis.
I think choice of food is down to personal preference.

Just wondering how is eremnopyge pronounced?
