Right, he would be in with them just long enough to do his part, then back to his tank. If all 6 turn out female, that's a lot of distractions, targets to spread aggression. We will see, time will tell. I could be wrong and I have at least one male Carpinitis.

I have noticed that when Carpintis get territorial, or aggravated, many tend to show a large black area that appears on their upper back and on their dorsal fin. My last three males all did this. To a point where I second guessed if they were males. Until I vented them and they all were in fact males. I also have found that head profile varies based on collection point. Some males have very steep head profiles , while other males will have elongated faces that resemble a females profile, but grow a hump. With your new little ones time will tell.
Looking good!
Looks like there may be some males and females already.

What’s the fuzz looking stuff growing on the rocks? I have the same stuff growing on my fake plants.
The longer fluffy stuff is call Brown beard algea. Most people fight it, I just let it do it's thing.
