They might not be safe with dwarfs or fry ... but I'm not sure. Maybe someone who knows will chime in. Also, I've heard the fuzzy mushrooms are bit more risky.

He looks sexually mature ... he's likely about 6 months old or so.
6 months is when they start becoming sexually mature ... but he certainly didn't waste any time. Handsome reidi by the way.
