I believe I have 1 female (possibly 2) and 2 (to 3) males.

They are very nice! One or two weeks ago I've seen some of them: The smallest were 15-20mm. Very very small. I've never seen so little Acanthocobitis in a shop (and nowhere else) :)

They're in with a few Cherry Barbs and a single Pangio anguillaris.

Yes....Having kept all sorts of Loaches since 1998 I can honestly say these are the most entertaining, interactive species I've ever kept. They really are cute in every way.
