I really like the red algae, waving with the current.
Thought you might find this interesting, not that I know what species yours is but........

The original male Swordtail would not stop picking on the new male, so I moved the new male over to the Festae tank.

Your fish look great Jexnell! They look like they have been growing a bit for sure. Very nice. Keep us updated as usual.

Thats really crazy that you bought 6 and it looks like you have all females. The black dorsal spots and the very low profile face on all of them is screaming female. If I was you, I would grow them out another inch or so and then buy one nice 5-7 inch male and toss him in there. You will have a pair form so fast. If you were close to me I would lend you my male to make it happen. Good luck and keep the updates coming.

Are you going to be away from the hobby for a bit? I had to take several...several year hiatuses do to living situations. I am sorry you have to rehome Casper...hopefully he goes to a friend where you can get him back at a later venture. Sorry brother!

Yes definitely looks like I will be away for some time. Not quite sure how long and how big I can go when I get back, all depends on where I end up and if big tanks are allowed there.
