Thanks guys
The male is slightly bigger, maybe 2" or so. He's definitely not as gorgeous as the female, but like you said BV, he makes a good substitute until the girly is bigger. The absolutely awesome condition of both of their fins was half the reason I bought them - and they were in a tank full of about 15 other convicts no less. I had been eyeing up the female for a couple weeks now, but kept resisting because she was so small. Last time I was in though, I figured, I'm going to have to get a small female and let her grow (as I've never seen an even half-grown female in stores), and she was so stunning.
