    How to tell the different sexes of this species...

    Does anyone have info on how to breed them and their living conditions...

    just got my hands on ten pairs of them but can't tell male from female...can anyone help...

    I was'nt able to tell the difference by the anal fin either...i am trying to split them up in pairs and try breeding them as pairs in 10 individual tanks....but i have alot of difficulty in differenciating them.


    What are their requirements and breeding habbits...?

    There is very little written on them on the internet even so, in very brief detail.

    Can anyone help.

    And yes i got them at a very good deal at 50% off the market price of the LFS.

    I also noticed that bigger sized fishes tend to be more coloured up....any reason for that....thus making it difficult to different them by colour also.

    else the female has pinkish strip across.
