She's a cutie! How big is she?
I still have to take pics. Now I have 5 of them- 3 males, 2 females ( I think ). I just put them in my 75 with my Peacocks yesterday. Doing great. I think they're kind of running the show now. They just ignore all other species except themselves it seems like. Tough little buggers.

She's a chunky 2.5 inches. :)

Someone on a different forum recently said she looked like a male, but I'm still not convinced. Her hump is not very prominent, and she is much smaller than the male she is with, both coming from the same LFS at the same time.

I know that some female steatos can exhibit a slight hump, so the presence of a small one doesn't really mean anything.

I'm pretty sure that if she was a male she'd look more humpy by now, cos she's at least 15 months old.

I know what you mean when you say you think you have 2 females, because I find the species more difficult to sex than might be expected. What do you think? Reckon I've got a little female here?
