Cool.. you want to wrap this boy in cotton wool as hes very special... I'd love to have one like that.
 
Thats a decent camera... post some of the pics you've took of your fish.
 
Hey guys. I'm new to the forum and found this awesome thread. I have a young firemouth but am having a tough time trying to sex it. When I saw it in the LFS it had the best colorations of the group of 20 that were in the tank and I had to have it. I'm thinking its a male but have only seen it flare its gills a few times. Do the females also flare? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have him in a 44g corner right now with 2 Angel's and some columbian tetras. I also have a 29g long that I want to setup. Do you think that tank would be more appropriate for him as it has a bigger footprint? Here's the best pic I could take as this guy is kind of camera shy.

Chances are its a male... Why? coz it was the more dominant and colorful - but we can't be 100% sure till its a bit bigger. Good luck with it ;)
 
Wish the Firemouth availability was better around here. Can only find them on craigslist!!

Heres an update of the fry that are getting quite a lot larger.. I split them and have kept about 40 of the largest Young for myself... with the rest going to local petshops.
