Add new RBP's

thats should be ok, doing water change mainly help lower the water temperature which helps to reduce aggression. keep an close eye for few days and good luck

Update: So far so good...11 Reds are still intact...I'm going to do a water change to night...I'll try post some pic's of my shoal...

Do you still need to download all pic's through photobucket?

On other quick question: I noticed my P's are turning a black-grey color...and there bellies turn red, then no red, then red again...is this normal?

 

[jp80911]

you can directly upload the pix here.
their color changes depends on mood stress level, surrounding, etc.

Is there a guide as to what color combo represents what mood?

Mine seem to lose their redness later at night, I always wondered why.... does anyone know the reason? I know when they turn black it could be a sign of breeding

 

[solidconceptgroup]

wow that would be awesome if they bred! I've dumped quite a few $'s on these guys..It would be nice to get some $ back on my investment...but how old are they when they breed? I have 6 females and 5 males ( so I was told from my dealer)....

@ Experiment: I'll try and get a shot of them....they don't stay still long enough for me to get a clean shot of them...

they tend to loose color when they go to sleep (turn pale) and gain it back once they are awake.
also turning dark doesn't 100% means ready to breed. but when they are ready to breed they do turn dark.
they usually ready to breed after about a year. maybe a bit sooner or a bit later, each fish is a little different.
