i have been doing a water change this whole week and i dont know what is wrong with the water its just stays cloudy????
i forgot to do a water change because i was in the hospital so i was unable to move.
when i got home the first day i did a water change the water looks very like oily
got that... I'm no expert, but I was judging by the back of the dorsal fin. It's hard for me to try to type to describe, but to me it seems like the back of the females dorsal curves down to a point, while the males develop like a tendril that can extend the length of the head. Males foreheads seem a little different, more defined maybe. I don't know. If you post some clear pics, the experts here will be all over it...cichlidsguy;1141566; said:
...and I'm changing my vote, I think it's male. The top fin looks like it is beginning to extend. Do a 40-60% water change every week, that water should be clear in less than a month, as long as your filter is working correctly. Then, keep doing 40-60% water changes every week. Not really sure what you mean when you say you've been doing a water change for a whole week, I do all my tanks in like an hour.
