| My bateries just died, so i'll have to wait until tom.
I might start an african tank in the very distant future. What would be a good starter size for a decent african colony?
thanks |

| I would say that you have a male and female by those pics.. as matt says.. the blue spots need to saturate the black spot. extremely nice looking rams!

| Same here. Here are some better cropped pics:
This is of the one on the right( the one that we think is a male): 
This is the one on the left(the one Matt thinks is a male but we think is a female-Sorry to put you on the spot like that, Matt):
Matt- Look at the Black spot in the pic. above. Look at where the edges are. Do you see blue specs inside the spot? Look at the belly. Is there a redish-pinkish taint to it?

| We are right...Matt is wrong 
There are definatly some light blue spangles inside her blue/black spot AND she has a pink belly...so shes definatly a female
