Even though I got these fish 4 months ago, I've been REALLY busy the last few months and haven't paid attention to them. This week I have started looking for spawning activity. Maybe they will spawn for me soon!

I have no idea Tal. Anyway to tell for sure? They were 'young' when I got them so maybe they have formed individual sexes? They behave as though they "like" one another... no fighting.

No easy way to determine sexes from what I've read. In groups in the wild the male will often be larger and aggression can be seen in captivity between fish of the same sex. I had a pair that I thought was getting along for a while but I lost one to the overflow, possibly from aggression.
