My confirmed female is a good 7.5 cm TL. I think that I don't have nearly the experience I would need to tell you for sure what age they'll need to be. These fish can seriously try your patience, but it will be worth it in the end!

Hi,

thx your answer. I bought the fishes just friday, I will be patient. Why aren't they spawned yet? :lol:
I like to buy 2 female form another shop. Is this a good idea?
Is the adult female broad? The peoples speaking always about the length of the fishes, but I think the wide is material too.

Are the holes good size? I think these are big.
