They're (impossible to tell gender until they quite literally start breeding) pushing past 2 inches! The patterns are coming in on the dorsal and tail especially right now! They will keep growing up to ~10 or so inches, so a long road ahead! They'll be the tank boss when they're bigger but for now that's left to the Angelfish and Electric Blue Acara :)
If you're curious what an adult looks like, check out this great video by PrimeTime Aquatics (channel definitely recommended)
The adults are so beautiful! I love the trailing fins.
Right!! I am so excited to see the little dude grow into a work of art
