Hiro: The male is ~ 3 years old. He spawned a number of times with the female with fry surviving out to a month on at least 2 occasions. I kept the first surviving fish (Jr.). As the male was becoming more aggressive with time I removed him. I traded the female and Jr to the neighbors some time ago. I can try to find a picture to indicate size. In tanks without a male pairs of females will lay and tend to eggs. -Paul On Thu, 8 Nov 2007, HIRO TAK wrote: > Hi Paul, > > Thanks for the offer, I would love to borrow him(or are you prefer that I > keep him.).
