Hello everyone,
I recently a group of these guys. They're pretty cute and are very active. I wanted to post on here to pick your brains on experience(s) you've had with them. This will be my first time keeping them. I currently have Steatocranus casuarius and gibbiceps and of course, these guys. Each species is unique in appearance.
The one thing I've noticed with the Red Eye was that some are significantly darker in colour then others. Does this have any meaning as far as sexual differences? I also read in Anton's book that males have a more elongated dorsal coming to a point (similar to casuarius); however, I have not noticed that with these...possibly because they're still juveniles.
Anyway, any advice/information you can provide would be extremely appreciated. I'll post photos when I can. They are still acclimating to their conditions so I wanted to wait till they look their best before posting.
Thanks for the time,
-duc.
