I bought them in fresh and slowly brackished them. They are now almost full marine. The salinity is now 1.018. What most wholesalers keep their saltwater fish at in the holding tanks. Ich free. Too high for freshwater ich,too low for saltwater ich.
How were you able to sex them? I have heard it is almost impossible and they have never been bred in captivity before. I think I have 2 males and a female as one is very small and the other 2 are huge (all bought at the same time) and very agressive to each other. They fight all the time.
