Cool, I will try you later...
I am in Ct...
She will go from my 125 qt to the 250 qt to the big tank...

They were caught in 76 degree water which is insane as they were caught at 400ft...lol, I may actually plug in a heater...

 

[007Bond]

76 at 400'...must be something heating the water that deep.

I am thinking based on the temp range of 71.5f in Kiyoshi's book and the 76f that they were actually caught in they can tolerate the temps...I seem to remember Koji mentioning that with the last batch but I could be wrong...he also said they ate quickly and had a varied diet...I will ask him...Michael at NYA is getting one to sell but the three of us should try and share any info...
do you know how to tell the difference between male and female?
I have it if you need it...
with your two, if they are the same sex, we may have to trade and let them try and breed in your 90...:beer:

 

[hedgedrew]

No idea how to sex. We can always trade. Im in long island close to you. I have my tank on 2separate chillers so i can be flexible. Im thinking of 72 to 74.

cool, I heard you were on west coast...
this may help...
they are supposed to be pretty mellow overall...max is 7 cm...males and females can be distinguished as males have a black edge on a longer dorsal fin and anal fin, also longer ventral fins and females have a rounder shaped body and no black edge...temps 22-23 c- which is 4.5 degrees (f) lower than these fish were caught at...looks like, they can handle the temps..

 

[humaguy]

Kiyoshi recommended the 71.5f but Rufus caught them in 76f water...lol, don't think I will adding a heater...
