Pseudacanthicus leopardus

Post by Parapetenia »

A lfs near me has two Pseudacanthicus leopardus for sale. They have been in the same tank for about a month now. They are about 2". Males have spinier pectorials then females, right? They appear to be male(very small spines due to the size)/female(smooth pectorials) by the above description. I am thinking about buying them and putting them in my heavily decorated 125. Would this be large enough to keep them together?

Hi!

It will mainly depend on what other tank mates do you have with them?
Secondly 2'' is still too small for being able to tell apart male from female, they must be around 7'' to become sexually mature and not until that time you will be to tell the sex.
Males are abit more spinnier this is correct they also seem to have brighter colour!
Cheers
