I've had three african butterflyfish in my 46 gallon tank for the last 5 days. In that time, I've been watching their colouration and behaviour in an attempt to determine sexes. I -think- I've got 1 male and 2 females. But I'm not entirely certain.
Is there an easy way to sex these guys?
The one I suspect is male is darker in colour, much more striking, and more nippy.
The two I suspect are female are lighter in colour, and appear to defer to the suspected male when near him.

Feeding!:
These guys are reluctantly taking my flake food daily and are getting live crickets once a week. Do they need to be fed anything else? Is there anything easier (and less squirmy) to feed them?
