Yvan,
Thank you.  That explains it.  I have several females and one male.  I 
thought that was the case - I just wasn't sure they would show yet.  I only 
saved the 4 females (after one month of waiting for mom to not do a good 
job) when I decided to pull them.  Then I found the little boy a week later. 
 Of course they weren't showing sex difference at that time.  As a matter 
of fact I thought little boy was a goner until I noticed him during a 
feeding 2 days ago.  Saw him again today looking green and yellow breifly as 
he darted from plant to rock.  Thanks.
Bonny
