Hey All,
Thought I'd share some pics of my community.
My puzzle-piece panorama of the 55g:
Convicts own the cave on the right, laid eggs in there thursday night. Should be hatching pretty soon. Male is 2.5", Female is 2".
Got a couple Firemouths that don't like to stay still for pictures. Not sure if they're male/female. One I think is a male cause I've seen it flare it's gills. Not sure on the other. Both about 2".
Then I got 3 Jack Dempseys. I got them all at around 2" a few weeks ago.
One has almost doubled in size since then, about 3.5". Not positive if it's Male or Female. It has blue on the lower gills, but not a lot. I'm leaning toward male though just cause of the growth rate.
2nd is definately female. Nice blue smear along the lower gill plate. She's about 3" now.
3rd I'm not sure on. It's stayed a lighter overall color, and hasn't grown much. It might be female, but it's not -as blue- as the 2nd. The other 2 pick on it a bit, so I'm thinking of returning it to the shop.
Other inhabitants are 3 Pictus:
And a couple Blue Gourami:
I have a 20g Long tank too that I'll be transfering the confict fry to once they hatch.
Pretty much it for now.
