    @francoisve for now lol I know the brevis male looks like a mini pit bull when adults .
    @Heyhong multifasciatus:f 3.5- m 4.5cm.
    Ocellatus:m 6cm- f 3.5cm.
    Brevis:m 6cm- f 4cm.
    Most of them basically in the 3cm- 6cm range females always being smaller than males.

    I wanted these for a planted tank......but since Multis like to do their own ''land-scaping'' its is out of the question for me......

    Howzit @Nawaaz - Very cool photos man!

    Your set-up must be coming along nicely now, grab a few full tank shots and one of the whole stand again?

    You'll be glad to know I've had another spawning from my Similis, double the amount of the last spawning so up to fry now, heheheh, they did say Similis were slower than Multies but I didn't think it could be this slow. I'm not sure if it's a positive or negative thing that the second batch was from the second pair - heheheh. First pair taking forever to spawn again, but then I guess I must just be glad to have two.

    How the Brevis coming along there? Growing up a bit?

    Thanks @Jackstone slowly getting the shots right with phone camera.

    Great stuff does that mean I can collect in a month or 2? Any batch is positive if I get some haha.

    Is there any specific method you use to trigger spawning with them?

    Brevis, Those guys seem to be shy again but growing amazingly fast. 2 of which are large assuming they males. I’ll try to take pics tonight.

    Multies stripes are starting to appear already.

    Ocellatus are as brave as ever and growing fast.
