Metriaclima lombardoi Help...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i would buy in large numbers, when they are under 2", from my experience you can't usually go by there color to say its a female. I got a suprise myself.

I raised this kennyi since 1" and thought it was a female going by color and around 2.5-3" it transformed to the male coloration.

Usually you can tell if they are male by how they act especially at more than 3 inches... But yeah as I said females coloration can vary... I think they only get to about 4-5 inches full grown, and they should have 6 bars I do believe... if they have more than 6 bars they could be metriaclima estherae or cobalt blue mabye...
