WEll, at one point i removed all teh m. altispinosas (4 of them) and put
them in their own 10 gallon tank for a few weeks.  Used water from the big
tank, but NOTHING happened.  I think i have a mix of fem and male, looking
mainly at the tails, very pointed on 2 of them and not so on the others.
But i gave up and put htem back in teh big tank after a few weeks.   I'm
just going to enjoy my community tank and que sera sera.  THanks, kym
