It appears as they’ve grown and gotten into condition that I’ve got 1 male proteus in my group- that is 1 fish that looks like every picture I’ve seen of one.

my 2 largest proteus are getting along pretty well and would be what I consider pairing off. One with a swollen cherry red belly and beautiful dorsal, the other also big- I would think is male except it has minor eyespots in the Dorsal.

I know I know. Pics. I’ll try.

Looks like the “pair” has split up… I wish the actual male was bigger.
