I'm not sure, he held them for me. I got them at different times. I have one super male, one sub-dominant male, and one female. That's fairly typical of a trio, and you get less bickering if you can pick them out this way so they don't have to sort it out for themselves.

How long have you had the trio together now? My main goal is to have a super male stay super and from what I've read, if you just get one male, his colors will diminish over time.

Has anyone else been able to keep a super male, "super" for over a year?

I think having a sub-dominant male (mild male coloring, female sized) helps to keep the Super male super. I've only had my trio for a few months.

If I got one super male and 3 females, I wonder if one female might turn into a sub male?

Sub males are usually pretty easy to get a hold of. More common than females. You might get two super males that will fight all the time for the remaining two females. In my trio my super male flashes lots at the female mostly. The sub male is mostly ignored. I like my trio, I don't think adding another female to the mix would do any good.
