Firemouth tank size ?

Would 2 fm pairs be fine in a 48x13x21?

A 55 should be fine.

Ok sweet just got to get some more dw. How long does it take for people on aquabid to respond to an email do you know?

Yeah that will be a good tank for the pairs. Some dithers like sword tails, mollies, tetras or barbs would be nice to add. Not sure about aquabid. I think that might depend on the seller.

Depends on the seller. The high rated ones tend to be busier, but get to you as soon as they can. The lower rated ones will answer faster, but its a risk if they are new to shipping or new to the hobby in general.

So i got the fm again . And the aquabid guy responded but I found some dw alot cheaper at a lfs. I hope its a pair cause it was the last 2 he had. One was short and chubby the other was long and not so chubby.

I got 2 more so now I have 4. Also the supplier says they are cb from Indonesia, is that a good or bad thing?

Captive bred is good IMO, though I suppose that depends on your stance on captivity.

When do they get the intense red? Also why do some have orange instead of red?

They generally have the red around 1-1.5", so pretty early. Females have less than males. As far as orange goes, the intensity of the color (both physical extend and shading) varies from breeder to breeder.
