These are my male and female I think u just make sure your water is right and have a hiding place for them make sure they both can fit cuz mines used to protect them untill they grew those dots around them are the babys they had
The male is usually a much deeper red than the female.
I was told and in my case it is true. If you look at their tails, the male will have spots from top to bottom. The female will only have spots halfway down. And when ready to spawn they both turn fire engine red.
I bought 6 myself then the male eventualy killed off all but his partner.
