I added a new g. ocellatus to a tank with another single g. ocellatus yeaterday and they put on a show for a good 30 min. getting to know each other and deciding who's boss!

Thanks Jim/Charles. Charles, about the sexing, do you think one is male and one female? The largest was the winner but I can't sex them.
