Still very small but the colors are starting to show. I am kind of worried about this robertsoni, because its stomach looks sunken in. It has been eating blood worms and flake food, and I think it is looking better. I'm worried if it has a parasite.

They all look good! How's the temperment of the Robertsoni?

Pretty chill right now. Hopefully these two will be good together in the long run.
 
I have a robertsoni that I have had since Sept and is now about 6" long. They look skinny but I think this is just due to the large head and body shape. Mine eats like a pig and only gets mildly aggression during feeding. My Heckeli keep him in order though and they are smaller than him. They are somewhat timid but once they get around 5" they start to come out and their colors are amazing, especially during feeding.

Cool, thanks for the info. At what size can you sex them?
