Sexing Leleupi?

[Hels]

Does anyone have any ideas how to tell the males and females apart??

i got a group of 5 young fish a good few months ago aiming to end up with a pair and to take the others back to my lfs...i thought things would just happen and it would be fairly obvious but so far theres really been no change... 3 of them live in plant pots and 2 tend to hang around higher up in the tank...so i was thinking that the ones in the plant pots are holding territories and are probably male but it would be great if anyone could give me any tips!

thanks

no one??

Just be patient and watch, when a pair forms you'll know it. It could take some time before you can be sure.

thanks for the help!

do you know approximately when they start to become mature??

They're slow to mature and it can take as long as a year or so
