Thank you, Helene.
I didn’t expect to get “deissneri” – don’t get me wrong. It absolutely didn’t matter to me which form or species I would get – I have only one single form of P. nagyi until now. I am pleased with any species I get!

Yes, I also thought that at least the bigger ones look like females, with their stout bodies and full bellies. But I am not sure with the smaller ones – they are more slim and elongated.

Yes, their condition is good, they don’t look famished or weak.

But healthy or not – it would not be of much use to have only females without knowing the species ……….

So, if you don’t think that their differences in body shape are sexual dimorphism – do you think they are the same species, then? For me they don’t even have the same dorsal fin shape …….
