Nice you hit the jackpot, lol... How can you tell the difference between your male and female Carpintis? What I mean is how can you look at them and tell which one is male and female?
 
Looking really good - I like the "fry swarm" you have going. How big is that tank?
 
there from vontihillo , i got them from ira . they were blue/green before they bred but they've been darker since then with there bottom half being solid black and there color is totally different now , they are totally grey . pretty soon they gotta go and if your local you can just pick some up . i'm probably gonna separate them soon and just feed them for a while and check them out in regular dress . they are good parents and i feel they'll breed non stop , they've already been acting funny for a couple of days . oh ya , one is bigger and that's the male .
 
Beautiful pair and Congrats on the spawn. Hopefully ill be able to get some vontehillos:)
 
NICE!!, i have a nice big male from ira that is a bit over 6in now (he was right at 6in when i measured him 1.5 months ago) and he is def the boss of my tank and is absolutely gorgeous, everyone always thinks i have a saltwater tank when they see him lol but yeah its amazing how much they change color when they breed, nice big fry swarm you got going there GOOD LUCK with them :)
