To sex, the most reliable way is to vent. Mouth brooders are much easier as the eggs are much larger den cave/shell spawners, hence the females vent is much larger.
LOL... one at the moment to test out. So far so good.

Thinking to get a few more ...

Sorry to hear... is it because of aggression issues? 3 is not a very good number for such fish (from my experience with simochromis, tropheus and petros) but once in a while it does work. Try to crowd the tank with other types of fish, it helps.
I don't think its due to aggression. Basically they stopped eating and become isolated. I was suspecting like some internal bacteria or what. The other 3 are living "ok" together. I don't see any torn fins or whatsoever. Maybe because of the tank size and also I have some fronts, some altos, some xenos and some random single tangans.

Dio has 3 of them from a recent shipment and he is letting them go. Anyone interested can contact him.
