Very nice! Thats what I'm talking'bout.

I love my CPDs, I've a very lightly planted, with wood, 25gal with a shoal of 12 CPDs, they have it all to themselves.
Here are the first group I acquired, no before & after, since they're already young adults/adults.
Pics were taken in a specimen container before going into quarantine.
I'm not sure on sexing, but after they colored up, it appears they're all males

I see one maybe 2 the females in those pictures they have a black spot by the anal vent

Yes I have always liked the look of them, I have only had it for a couple of months. It's leaves grow really fast increasing almost 50% through the day, but after such growth I assume it will go dormant soon

Wow! It is my understanding those are VERY finicky and hard to keep alive... G'luck, they're beautifully unique.

Almost looks plastic, I had to ask.

 

[Ged]

The guy I bought it from said to keep it in cooler water I expect with summer coming it will go dormant I am setting up my tripod to see if I can show the growth

 

[Ged]
