So who's got amaralia hypsiura?

Awesome large banjo cats. I understand they take larger foods like earthworms (cut) and chopped shrimp. Sexing them is likely as difficult as with other banjo cats. There's no reliable sexual dimorphism between the sexes. Best chance to sex them is from an overhead view of similar size specimens raised together. Females will likely be the broader-bodied specimens due to the size of their ovaries and due to egg production.
