I purchased these as a breeding pair some time back, as part of a package deal for a used tank I was buying. In the time I have had them (6 months) they have been in a crowded tank and understandably not demonstrated breeding activities as yet (then again, neither have the pair which I have seen proven to wrigglers in my community tank).
They do tend to stick close together similar to my other pair.

Now for the questions:
Do they look like a male and female? I have not seen tubes and am still unfamiliar with the respective other sexual traits.
Do they look worthwhile breeding? I suspect their shape could be better, but otherwise they seem to me to be reasonable fish.
Depending on the answers, when I clean out the four foot tank I might put a divider in and see how my two pair go once they have a place to themselves.
Cheers,
Scott
