Hi,

I have one of those 24x7 bookshelf tanks and have 6 Specious:

I have a couple of rocks to break things up into 3 sections, and I think I have 4 males and 2 females because:

1. In the bag from the lfs 4 had color, and 2 looked washed out.
2. In the 3 "sections":
left side: 2-F 1-M
center: 1M
right: 1M???
center not in a shell, but hiding under a rock.

Here are their pictures:

Any help would be appreciated, since I suppose if I have 3 males alone I should probably return them.

Thanks!

Hi Mikeyg,

How big is each individual?  Depending how big they are/how old they are, males should appear much bigger than females (width and length).
