Unspawned females are going to look very close to males.

+1 almost imposable for me to tell. The more and more the females lay eggs the bigger and bigger the vent get's I've noticed.

Venting is not 100%......the only 100% way to tell is when she is holding.

interesting...so far I have had 3 males take up territory, and last night all of them had ladies in their chambers! I was kind of shocked to see them doing it already

Something to consider, but on Alison's webpage she put the ratio on the Katoto as 14:24 which is just a little better than Trio's

I just got my Eheim 2262 up and running(thanks Geoff for the helping advice), and this thing is FREAKIN AWESOME. I could not believe the flow this thing has. the fish love it. I have it at the top of a rock, so the outtake flow has like a waterfall flow to it and the fish go to the top of the rock and ride it down to the sand...its so funny. I used 5L of EffiMECH in the bottom, then used bioballs about 2" from the top, and then used the inside of a pillow real thin at the very top.

I havent updated this in a while so here goes. I have sold the Katoto's that where living in here and added all of my Dubs plus some! There 52-53 of them in here and it is a little better than 1:1 ratio right now. I also removed some of the rock and have had much better luck with just the two territories.
FILTRATION
3x Rena XP3
2x Aquaclear 110
2x Koralia 4
