Hi William. They're over 2 years old now, and breeding now for the first time.

See:

My marms are just over a year old, and are currently residing in a 10 gallon tank. I've noticed recently that a few have started taking dips into the water bowl. I think I'll be converting their tank into a 70 land/30 water set-up soon.

By the way, great picture Tim.
