That could work, make sure you have a lot of pipes and pots. Only where she can fit, that should be really easy given the size difference. you could take a normal flowerpot, a small one that is, gently pop out the bottom with a hammer and flip it upside down in the tank. she will be able to be with him and stay away from him as well.I've found a guy who orders from Jeff Rapps and he can get me a 3.5" female so I could have found him a girl![]()
he is looking very nice now mate well done
if you get stuck for a girl let me know, mine are back on fry so i can grow some out for you if needs be. be ready to send out when the good weathers back (well good weather for the uk lol)
i feel that often times, they know the difference when it is a female, they just seem to have a instinctual urge to breed rather than eat...LOL! however If you want to grow her out for a bit, it isn't a bad idea, just know he will be growing too lol.
