Two males can fight when they hit sexual maturity.

See how tall the spines are on the male versus the short stubby spines of the female. You can pretty much tell this at any age.

She was a lot smaller than him though.

After a 4 hour praziquintal bath (some flukes fell off), he is in the tank. His color is 1000 times better than what was pictures on divers den. Hopefully they will have a female up soon
