Maybe try to contact them on their website: http://ekolnet.pl

Could have some distributors in the US, you never know.

Thank you. I may do that.

That tank is gorgeous. The background fits so well with the other decor and substrate. Very well done!

Thanks! It's my first CA themed tank.

I agree with Fw. That's a female. At 5 months my male was developing a steeper angle on his forehead and was adding a lot of thickness, also his fins were starting to elongate and look fancier

So, as promised, here are all 5 synspilums that I keep. All come from the same batch but as you can see the first 2 are the smallest and less colored ones (at around 3 inches).
#3 starting to get a little more color, then #4 with a lot more blue, and the last one, #5, which I posted at the beginning of this thread.

i have been breeding syns for a few years now.
#4 and #5 have a good chance of being male but for 5 months they are not as big as they should be.
Do larger water changes (About 75 to 80%) once a week and you will see a noticable difference in size and color on all of them.
plus your more dominant male will change alot with bigger water changes.

currently 8 months old raised on 80% water changes a week.
