And they are also nibbling the lettuce that was meant for the pacu!

Ok then we are all agreed that they are ggs, purchased for the cost of a small gourami?Tequila;1739876; said:Much better photos, and I'm now a 100% sure that they are RTGG's and though they appear to be females I'm based om coloration. Looking at the direction the lips are pinched/turned in the bottom 2 of post #1026 I would say that this fish maybe be a male. Also this fish appears to have a little more red throughout it's body. Only time will tell for sure what's what but I believe you have a male and a female RTGG on your hands.

I'd move them, even after the updates about them feeding etc. they are not in the best condition so a separate tank would leave them with no potential aggression issues and you could treat them on their own and grow them out a bit. I would advise against moving them to a seperate tank, RTGG's seem to beat on each other even when small. My 2 males when approx 4 inches battled until one had ripped the dorsel fin of the other to shreads. Requiring months in a hospital tank. The remaining females in there holding tank back at the LFS beat on each other until, either they where sold or died. My smallest female was the last remaining RTGG at the place. She still keeps somewhat to herself on one side of the tank most of the time.

Sexing has not been fully decided but one male and one female is the general opinion.
Tequila = 100% rtgg
Lou = coming round to the 100% rtgg
Me = after the other comments 80% exodon
Am I the only one who is not seeing the red in the right places on the photos? Lou, can you get a flashed shot close up of the tail? A closer flash photo may just wash out the color just that much more, I would suggest that you buy a better monitor instead.
Tequila can comment much better than me on the Red tail business as he has 4 that he has raised. You got that right
Get feeding them up Lou!
depending on your tanks temp I would feed them like 3~5 times per day. I feed mine in the beggining live blackworms, bloodworms, then mealworms and then switched over to earthworms, superworms, crickets. and a few feeders that where really ment for the Aro that used to be in with them. While I didn't at first offer mine veggies they fed on the remaining aquarium plants in the tank.
I'll breakout the popcorn why we all sit back and wait a few months

You guys are so funny at times!Ok, I've just moved them to the gourami tank... let's hope the males won't be aggressive. If they are, it's going to be hell to move them - the wood provides too many hiding place so I'd have to tear everything down...Yanbbrox;1739985; said:
I guess so.Yanbbrox;1739985; said:
To think that I was jealous of Piggy who got that same luck! Well, the red in the fins is what I'm basing myself upon... otherwise I would have agreed with you regarding them being of the exodon type...Yanbbrox;1739985; said:

I have to admit that I am nervous... they were not that healthy to start with (battered, deformed jaw, milky eye...)... anyway, we'll see
