Gonna have aggro problems in that lil tank girl. Especially if one of the pairs decide to breed. Its all good, just keep an eye out. In regards to your JD's, your are still a little too young, but males have little to no speckles on the bottom of their gillplate, where females are full of speckles on the gills and less on the body. Your gonna need to upgrade the JD's tank, but in the meanwhile..... Enjoy!!
