I think it's a female, if i see the body shape.
Can you take some pictures of the odontodes ?

It is most likely a female. Males have a more straight line taper. Females are broad and bulge at the area between and just behind their pectorals when ripe with eggs and even when not there is that difference.

Hi
At least it seems they are not starving... I think you can reduce a bit the quantity of food you give them
See you,
Matien

Hi Alex,
That's one big nice healthy L201 pair you have.
What size is the male and female you have? At what size is the best to breed them too?
Thanks.
