Introducing New 8'' BGK To Three Almost 7'' Sens

[ctenopoma]

wow! nice BGK make sure to take picture when he gets huge!

 

[killerfish]

No worries those fish aren't aggressive twords each other but get some dimmer lights or some floating plants or something that tank is pretty bright for a BGK they don't like bright tanks and polys don't care for it ether and both fish like plants

That way isn't very good for telling the sex you can see that difference when there older but the anal fin on the male is much bigger then the females plus if you ever see it curl its fin into a cup shape then its male

great name

Lol...I just love that name! Thanks.

It was seeing his little face when I picked him up at petstore. The name just came to mind!!

Yeah I have alot of floating plants in the 55G right now; anacharis, hornwort, and some duckweed (I just got the duckweed).

Going to have to "make" him come out of his cave, to get a good pic.

But I hate to do that, so that's why I dont' have pics yet. But going to try now.....wish me luck!

P.S

Where do you get those dimmer bulbs and how much do they run?

Thanks!

 

[moonchild1970]

Yay!! Finally got pics!!

Had to boot him out of his cave, and he wasn't happy, but here they are(please excuse the diry glass):

lol your making me want a Ghost knife!!! I think I might have to get a brown african with my tank size

 

[moonchild1970]

Yeah they are fascinating little boogers. Such beautiful fish too.

 

[killerfish]

i would look around at a pet store can't remember the name but it should say something like low light bulb or for low light loveing fish look for something like that not sure how much they cost but useually there a little pricey around $15-$20 each

 

[moonchild1970]

Good deal. Thanks!!
