Dangerous Dave Hobbyist Posts: 144 Kudos: 179 Votes: 3 Registered: 15-Jul-2002 | I have noticed that the male multis are bigger and get a nuchal hump (lump on their forehead). It also seems that the females will stay around their shell while the males will swim in open water, only ducking into a shell when alarmed.  |
