I think these two are probably juveniles because I have seen already bigger specimens of this species. Buth if these are mature it should be females. As they both miss the flagellum. I haven't looked at the genitals yet. I checked also the other specimens at the fair and none of them had the flagellum. So they could all be juveniles or the male season is already over and that means that there could be a chance that they are fertilezed. The availability off food is a major factor in the ultimate lenght of these animals.

I kept that species last year. I have a few bad quality pictures and they have been on the board.
