I wanted to get these guys out of their tank so I could take a really close look at them and see if I maybe had represtatives of both sexes. I'm looking hard for a nasolabial groove. Anyway, any opinions on these guys? And is there a hint maleness in the last one? Well, at least you can see they are well-fed!

I am looking for a good glass container to take pics from. Round ones like small fishbowls and food jars distort their features, and I thought this square one would be better, but those dumb flowers on the sides block their faces. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I want something glass, not plastic, because plastic always ends up scratching.

I've got a set of 2.5 gal aquariums. They're tiny, but they're glass, and built well. I use them for doing exhibition, but that might be about what you're looking for. I have no idea where to get them, as I was given them by a friend.

I would suspect a male and two females from those photos, but I would by no means guarantee that assessment... Enlarged jaw musculature and a hint of cirri in the first photo makes that one look like a mature male, and smaller heads, larger bodies, and ova visible in the 4th photo makes the others look like females.

That's what I was suspecting and hoping! Cirri, I had forgotten. I've never used that word in a sentence before.

hi

Hi Dawn. I definately think that one is male and another is female but I can't truly tell if the third is female or male but I think it would probably be a female.

yeah, the one in the last pic looks a lot like a male, can't tell 'bout the others though
