Cutier than a puppy, aren't they. They will soon go to an orange color with black markings. Enjoy your new babies. Make sure they have hiding places, like some wood in the tank or a group of plants together.

i am working on it, they are goin to get a sand substrate tomorrow and then i will start to create cave for them and as they grow and mature I will change it to a more natural tank. by the way one is male and one is female i believe because one has a really pointed breeding tube thin and the others is really square the darker one has a point to it and the yellow has the square one

Yup! And they're always there. It's not like their breeding tubes are in hiding until spawning time.

:)

A flower pot would work for them. They are rather timid when new. You tank isn't cycled, is it? You'll have to be very, very careful with them if not.

Just cause I'm nosy, what did you pay for them? I've seen them anywhere from $13 to $26.
