need id help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
looks like vieja fenestratus I have one just like that the tips of the fins are red though but they are mean as hell he tore up a lot of fish in my tank I have a dovii and a flowerhorn jack Dempsey and 2 huge ocars and he is king of the tank still I wouldn't have anything small or cant fight with him he will kill them
 
i have had 2 convicts killed so far. my flower horn is pretty big and he don't mess with him to much. they were both jittering their bodies today ,and moving rocks and scraping the surface of my slate the last couple days .. almost looks like they are both cleaning a spot for a female to lay eggs. so they both might be male.. i do own a female flower horn that has layer eggs in the past maybe i should pop her in there ..
 
If you do put the female in there make sure you are able to "babysit" that tank for at least several hours because it could turn into World War 3 as they both compete for the females attention. Then if a pair forms they will kill what ever else is in the tank with them as they prepare to breed. So make sure there is a tank for the "unchosen" male to be moved to.

Thanks for the heads up.. I was thinking the same thing I don't want any other deaths. I am going to wait until next weekend to see if the 2 are male and female or male and male if no eggs I will pull one out and add the female .. i have a couple large tanks i can throw one into :)
 
is there a way to tell if it is male or female without taking the fish out and physically checking ?
 
well I have some answers.. this fish is female and she is starting to lay eggs.. my big kmfa is very aggressive though .. hoping this works out .. keep a close eye on this ! don't want any injuries
 
here is a quick pic of her .. trying not to bother them.it is hard though this would be awesome if all goes well
