If that is the case i either have a male that is guilty of over eating or one of my boys is a girl. I'll have to keep a closer lookout at which are being scooped up when I get the rest of them.

Look up the venerable Innes book - which has useful info on the Black Widow, Gymnocorymbus ternetzi. I think Innes mentions that anal fin shape may be an additional clue ...
