Kinda new at this Dicrossus sp thing, but I am absolutely in love with these little buggers.
I got five, what I believe to be Dicrossus maculatus, from a fish club friend. He thinks he got them from an online vendor listed as wild Dicrossus. I believe them to be maculatus. No other information is available as to their origins, other than they cost him a lot of money, and didn't cost me much at all.
I'd like to get a positive ID on them. I have what I believe to be four females and one male, although one of the "females" may be a sleeper male. They are setup alone in a 75 gallon (48" x 18" footprint), planted tank with driftwood and coconut caves with a larger sand substrate. pH right now is at 6.0. Haven't tested gH or kH yet, but they are probably a little high right now.
Here are a few shots.
Female?
Male?
Sleeper Male?
Thanks everyone!
