    Here is a picture of the male and female together.
    The male is larger but not quite as much bigger than the picture makes him look. I think its because hes in the corner of the tank and it magnified him

    I havn't seen her directly eat any frozen but she picks at stuff all the time so I can't really tell what shes getting.
    the male eats frozen and pellets.
