Hi, I bought two of these fish, Inlecypris atropurpureus. They are in my 21g doing well for 5weeks now. There is very little info on them, anyone know anything about them? Some members have suggested that my 21g is too small for these fish, any comments? They seem fine; the tank is under stocked with only a few plants and one small piece of drift wood. The fish will jump if I am working in the tank but they are fine besides that. I also want to sex these fish, one seems to have a fatter more distended belly, and perhaps it is the female? They have both developed a white "bulge" on the front of their bottom jaw, I read that some rasboras will develop this when mature and/or ready to mate, any comments?
Thanks
