Many of us on iPhone cannot see videos, can you upload to YouTube then put them here or get a few photos?

Unfortunately you definitely have a pair of males which is risky as the mature male is likely going to fight and try to kill the younger male in too small of a tank.

I recommend selling the larger of the two, that guy won’t last long as he’s already rather large and has complete male colouration.
