Lost one of the four around June 10, 2015.  I suspect it was male vs. male aggression.  The remaining three are getting long well.  I have yet to observe the elongated dorsal spine that Matt Pedersen told me indicated a male.  I have a nice hand-held lighted magnifier I've been meaning to try, so hopefully in the next few days I'll be able to spend some extended time observing.
