its impossible to sex them until they get big - about 8 inch or so. even then its difficult. breeding in the aquarium is almost unheard of though i seem to remember someone on here saying they (or maybe their friend) had done it.

if you do see some breeding behaviour it won't be for a good few years yet i'm afraid

From what I have heard, it is very difficult to do and requires the addition of hormones.
