Just thought I would post some pics of my electric blues. I currently have 3 females and 2 male. I'm keeping a trio and a pair. They are getting close to breeding age and hope for eggs in the next few months.

Iv had the trio for about 4 or 5 months now. The pair I just got in a few weeks ago and are tiny. No male aggression so far but he is smaller then the 2 females. The tanks were made for my by a local guy they are great tanks and im ordering more. His screen name is randommind on dendroboards He builds any size you request.

Glad to see everyone is doing well. Chris, you had said that one female may potentially be a male. Have you confirmed it to be female? I ask because I want to see how well my incubation temps have been able to dictate sex.

I moved the 2 females into a new tank and neither turned blue they were in the tank for about 2 weeks. They to have a light blue strip along the belly and that is what was worrying me. My new female is tiny but she is a copper color . All I can do now is wait for eggs to know 100%

If neither has turned blue I would suspect both to be female. Many of the females I have kept and produced show some blue coloration. That is to be expected. But only the males turn entirely blue...
But then again, I have had one single female that was VERY blue.. I was convinced she was a supressed male, until I saw her laying eggs.
On a side note, the cages you spoke of having made turned out great. I wish there was someone producing tanks of that quality in PA. I checked out Random's website, but it doesn't appear he is shipping at the moment.

With my williamsi, I see female on female aggression initially when I place two or more females together that have never been housed together. But this aggression is short lived and within a day or two one female has shown herself to be dominant and the remaining ones fall in line. The subdominant ones do not seem to fair worse than the dominant one and I rarely if ever see any bickering between them.
Good to know. I'm eventually planing a trio.
By the way, i'm still on a female hunt. Everything available lately seems to be WC and i don't know if i'm willing to pay $150+shipping for a single williamsi.

Yeah, I wouldn't pay that for a WC individual. Hold off for a CB female. I'm sure you will find one in the near future. If all else fails, I could give you a hold back in the Spring.
As far as pricing of these guys, people have gone crazy in a hurry. One of the females you linked to (CB) I had actually purchased. The day of shipment the seller told me they changed their mind and refunded my money. Two weeks later, the same animal was up for sale for significantly more money.
Money aside, I'm a crazy tree hugging liberal.. Anything we can do to prevent destruction of natural habitats should be done. I completely understand purchasing WC when williamsi first came into the US (it's all that was available); but now we should be pushing for CBB.
