anyways, going to do a water change today, add two more sponge filters ( got two in there now ) all i use are sponge filters ( no HOBs or sumps ) going to take more pics of my fish after i do water change. had 3 ahli females, sadly 1 passed, had two, another passed, had one, and she recently passed, so either debating on having just a show male or getting 2 or three more females. my ahlis have spawned when the females were alive, same with my ob peacock ( sadly one died, so left with 3 now, had 2 males, two females, so if anything i hope its the male that passed so that leaves me with two females, one male ) the big orange with blue tint is the male, other two may be females or 2 males 1 female ( hope its 1 male 2 females ) but they have spawned in the past for me. the metriclima long pelvics ( galaria island, bad spelling ) have not spawned, have two males ( dominate LOVES to do the mating dance ) and a sub dominate, he does the mating dance, but if the dominate male catches him, he gets chased around, they havent spawned for me yet, but hopefully that changes soon. chromidotilapia, i had more of those, sold all of them ( or i thought i did ) but found two, ( had two different species ) so growing them out to see what they are. hongis, had more of them ( 7 i think? ) sold all of them, or i thought i did tell i found 3. hoping they are 1 male 2 females. only time will tell, i know one is male ( the bigger dominate one ). red empress, have one male, has showed his color, but hes not the dominate, so hes colorless right now, but soon hopefully that will change, and getting another 3 this spring, so hopefully i have 1 male 3 females. lithobate ( z-rock ), have one ( that i know of? ) thinking its a female, but hoping its a male. firemouth, added him, but he wont be staying that long in the 55, he will go with the two chocolate/two severums i have growing out in a 20 long ( soon to be a 55 for them, then a 75 or just straight to a 75 ). the pic that needs IDed, i have 2 or 3 that looks like the pic. anyone id him for me? or should i wait tell they get bigger? and have about 5 or so snails in there to.
