Bad news, guys. Greenie seems to have bloomed into a BOY.

So, the pair hit the spawn tank again, and there are eggs in the nest. Took both parents out and have meth blue in the tank... Alacazam ate the eggs last time which is why there were only two! I'm hoping there aren't many eggs, but still enough that I'm bound to find a female.

And if Greenie actually *does* turn out to be a girl still... I shall kick myself in the behind!

Even so, I have reason to be thankful... because both kids are GORGEOUS. Ebil's color is AMAZING and Greenie is really pretty... pics up soon!

Aww thats a shame, they are both lovely though

Alright, here are pics. They're in a divided 10 gallon now; I just let them together to take some of these pics.

I'm really not sure about Greenie now. He/she flares, picks fights, shows dominance stripes... and when that happens it looks reeeally like a boy. But sometimes he/she looks like a girl... I dunno!! All I know is that Alacazam's first spawn was very largely males... and when I was trying to sex them as juvies, even the ones I was very sure of being girls until like 3 or 4 months old turned out to be boys. So... better safe than sorry I guess!

Them displaying. Sorry some of the pics are blurry; I didn't notice I didn't have the macro setting on until later.

To show size difference. Greenie's girlishness while they were together could have been due to the fact that he/she was with Ebil who's twice his/her size. Plus Greenie's not as developed as Ebil is.

Ebil's brilliant coloring... no flash on these pics!

And Greenie, who's not nearly as photogenic. See, now he/she looks like a girl in this pic! I just don't understand.

Wow! They grow up so fast! Just look at that coloring! They're going to be show-stoppers for sure!

Thank you!

Keep in mind that if the second batch of eggs hatch... I'm gonna need some adoptive (mostly pet-only) homes for some of these kids!
