The kids are growing like weeds, and they are starting to act like real fish They all come running over when I bring out the feeding syringe. They are starting to separate a bit into groups of 5 or so.
For whatever strange reason, my tank is really doing well with the low flow, I turn on a power head here and there for a bit but that's it.

I haven't forgotten about you. I wonder how old they are before you can tell their sex. Their faces are starting to look different.

I've raised quite a few... and never could tell the sex. When I go to pair them, I just get 2-3 and put them all together. They'll pair quickly and kick the other one out.
Only reason I can tell the sex now, is I've seen which one held the eggs.. and I noted his color and other unique features to him. |

Thanks for the update!
I suspect they'll need to be around a 1" - 1.5" before you can take a stab at sexing. Not sure how old that is. Here is some info. As SpateD mentions, I wasn't really sure until they kicked a 3rd out of their group. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog...i-cardinalfish |

I could tell the difference by the shape of the jaw quite easily with the pair I had.

I think I am starting to notice the jaw differences now, I'll get some pics so the experts can help me. They are eating good (frozen) and might be able to go soon. I want to recover costs on the pricing, decided not to give away, since people might feed them to their lionfish, etc....
