I've always wanted one of these. I was able to get my hands on 8 of these babies. Too bad they're not the blue race.

Very Nice Bro!!! now that i can see the video better, it looks like the larger ones are females to me:) gonna be nice for sure. Too bad you dont already have a male waiting for them;) once they settle in and hit 3.5" theyll be ready to spawn. good luck with them
 
Very Nice man are they the Red or Green?! I was just wondering on some advice on raising them? I have a group of 8. How do you avoid them getting bloat? I have them together in a 50 g they are about 2to 3 inch with dominant male pairing with a female. water at 85 with lots of air. They got bloat and we gave them Prazi Pro and seem to be fine now. I freaked out and my buddy mentions he forgot to do water change for over a month!! So pissed!!! That would cause the bloat assume? A month ago I tried to move one from his house to mine and he died of bloat with in two weeks. What size is safe to move them from his house to mine?
 
Thanks Mike! I think Jason is right. The larger ones seem to be female... I'm almost positive I have at least 2 males. I would be happy if I got at least 1 large male.
