I've had these for a while so now they are nice and fat I'm hoping to get them ID's and sexed please. The smallest 3 are approx 7cm TL and largest approx 9cm TL.






Cheers

For me they are debilittera: http://www.plecoplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1747

The stripes are more creamy/yellow on debilittera and they have big eyes aswell.

2 fat females and 1 fat male. I would get them a cave if I was you:D

I was thinking debilittera but they look a little different to my other group, I'm lacking pics of these but I've a video of my 2 males having a scuffle, do you think they are the same? I'm hoping so as then I'll have 5 females, 3 males and 1 youngster

Look the same to me Gem. Debilittera can be massively variable in look but I would settle for yours all being the same.

If you have room I would put the 5 females and your biggest male in a tank and see what happens. Or you can split the females and see how that goes. If the males are fighting then they aint thinking about the tunnel of love

Thanks Gee, I've only ever seen them have a scuffle twice since I've had the older group, they did have a trapping a few weeks ago which didn't amount to anything so I think some new blood in the group will do them good.
