The size is about an inch now in length, their father is about 2 inch plus.

Here is one that I suspect to be a female.

These two are juveniles of the same species but they are bought, not spawns.

I haven't got any experience with mouth-brooders before so I can't tell you yet.

Hopefully everything goes well. I heeded EC's advice to let the female hold till they turn to swimmers this round which is in fact my first experience with mouth-brooder.

Next round would be tumbler.
