Well I have 2 Australians and they are both definitely males...one is definitely more dominant than the other.

Its the 3 boesemani Im wondering about. NONE of them are showing the blue in the front half, yellow in the back half. Based on shape and fin colors, I would tend to think that at least 2 of them should be male.

If they are juvies, how long would it take for them to reach adult status and show off the colors? Its been several weeks and nothing so far. I went to a different lfs and saw one that is clearly male with the coloration I expected but I didnt get it because the last thing i want to do is overcrowd the tank and cause stress.
