that is sweet. I have 3 left from jeff rapps that im waiting for them to pair off. I had four but they killed it. How big do they have to be when they pair off? Mine our 2". I think i might have a male, he his a lot bigger then the other two. I can't wait. they seem like kind of slow growers.

I think mine are just over 3", although I don't know exactly how old they are.

These guys are fairly easy to sex - males have more pointed dorsal and anal fins. If all else fails, vent them :D
 
ow ok that is sweet. not to much longer then. They are such cool little fish. I was told you couldn't sex them so i never tried. i will have to have a look at them. I have never done the venting, how to you tell?

They are easy to sex....you don't have to vent them. Post some pictures with good shots on the dorsal and anal fins...
