Looking for an ID on these guys, sold to me as Bosemani when they were tiddlers, but I'm not so sure. They are nearing 1 year old and are a little over 2 inches. Colours in the photo are accurate to real life. They behave like a pair, I'm guessing the greener of the two (on the left) is male and the other female.

Ok for anyone similarly confused, I found out they are both female Bosemani Rainbows. I'm told you can very often tell a male by the time they are 1" when they'll be showing some of their characteristic colour. I'm still surprised by the variation and behaviour between these females.

Hi,

your information is correct.

1. They are indeed females.
2. 99% sure they are boesemani females.
3. Having bred this species, it is true males are discernable from approx 1".
