I have a Jardini in a 6ftx1.5ftx2.2ft tank and I will be moving it to a 6ftx2.5ftx2ft if it gets close to being too big for this aquarium, so please don't comment on that. It's 5ish inches now and eats a ton, mostly pellets, shrimp, bloodworms, freeze dried krill etc. It likes to stick to the...

I was wondering if this green terror was a female ? It's a close to 6", it's not the tank boss so the colors might be a bit muted but I think it lacks coloring for a male. I would've liked it to be a male since they're so stunning. I got it 6 months ago and it's color hasn't improved much.

I got my flowerhorn from a friend about a week ago and started wondering what type of flowerhorn he is and will his body shape improve? not talking about the hump(kok) or the coloring but the actual body. Will it get better once it gets bigger? Thank you for the answers

So I got my first JD from petsmart about 2 weeks ago. He is a pale beige color with vertical black stripes. He only has a few small blue spots around his gills. Is he going to stay this way, or will he darken up and gain more blue? He's only about an inch and a half to 2 inches long right now...

Both are delhezi....lighter one has been there a few days but color doesn't seem to be changing. Anyone else have same species bichirs with such large difference in color?

I used to have a Delhezi that was pretty brown in color compared to some of the grey colored ones I see on youtube. Now I have Delhezis which seem like they are in between those colors. Does anyone perhaps know anything about captive bred or wild caught or different regions they come from or a mix?
