ha. thanks I love them.

Im not 100% sure?... Just shows what some good lovin can do I guess? :P Not too sure how old they were when I got them. I also grabbed one from my gf who doesnt know a lot about fish and texted me the other day and said her fish had changed color quite a bit and was asking if there was something wrong with him. I ended up telling her mine had too :P

very nice.... that blue one with the pinkish head looks like he was dipped into some paint halfway or someone came by and erased the blue off his head. Pretty unique looking!

LOL ..I wonder if you'll do this to one of your fish

mharding4... are you going to post more pictures so we can see how the color changes in next month?

I could do that.. wouldnt be a bad idea.. see how much they change in twice as long ha :P

coolio. ill pick up some excel aswell then! Thanks!

I bought a few bettas from Ann Marie and I have noticed in some more than others quite a difference in color change and Id thought Id share it with you. http://s1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh607/mharding4/?action=view&current=BeforeandAfterShimmer.jpg The first 3 pictures of a before and after of about a 2-3 month span or so. Some are a hard comparison because the before picture was not the greatest but you can really see a difference in some! So neat

haha sounds good. gotta get my hands on some amano shrimp then

staghorn.... hmmm. ok will do. thanks Jay.

I have about an 8 gallon tank and its got lots of live plants in it. They are growing well but I have this hair algea problem. I have mixed in flourite with the gravel. 13 Watt Flourescent bulb. I have one little albino pleco. There are rainbows and a female guppy and betta in the tank. Any suggestions? Fire them at me. Pictures found here: http://s1254.photobu...ng4/Hair Algea/

....You know you wannnnnnaaa:P ha... damn... thats fine i guess. Im not sure how long I should wait.. or how big they should be before i bring them to an auction?

ohhhhhh.... thats good to know.... ill have to look into that..

let me know if you would like some when they get a little bit bigger!

So I have pictures of my first spawn of babies. They are now about 3 cms long with little marks on their bodies. I put them in with my smaller rainbows because i now have two more spawns of babies in my 10 gallon. There are probably about 100 new babies though I know that not all will make it. I hope I can find homes for them all Its unfortunate that they take forever to be able to sex them. Pictures here on my photobucket. First 4 pictures are newest. http://s1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh607/mharding4/Otopharynx%20Lithobates/

Alright. So i now have about 20 babies that are about 1.5-2 cm long and three more females with eggs in their mouths..I hope i can sell these when the time comes :P I might run out of room. hehe.

Hey. Ive lost 80% of my stock in my tank in the past 48 hours. I could not see or tell why the fish were dying so fast. The water tested perfect. But I have about 7 fish left and they seem to be somewhat stable other than one. This one has what looks like mouth rot. From my readings I think its a bacterial infection? Anyone know what I can use to save the last of my fish? My betta seems immune. He has not changed and the fish continue to eat.. which i find bizzare... anyway.. any ideas? Do i have to go to Petland to buy an expensive antibiotic for a 7 gallon tank?

haha thanks AJazen! Hes my favorite male that I have.. I am trying to get him jumping too.. he does it a little but nothing like her.. she will give her all to get that blood worm hahah.... ha thats a good point Cate.. i would feel pretty bad if she jumped out..

hahaha im assuming your kidding cause im extremely gullable.. but thats funny:P

this is a video of me feeding my female betta blood worms... shes quite interactive.

my male killed himself somehow... woke up one morning and he was dead... I dont get it.. my cichlids have fry now so im dealing with them first.

Turns out yesturday another female spit out her eggs which are a nice orange/brown color. I put them in a 'tumbler' like a brine shrimp hatcher...and today most of the eggs have eyes and stick bodies attached to the eggs!!.. im excited they are hatching.. :rofl:

When you received them there was a dominant male and a sub dominant one. A third may be a bit too much for a small tank. Not enough real estate.

You could sell a 1m 2 f trio. I would think that could fix up the problem. In a perfect world I would ditch one male, but that can be tough some times. Unless there is someone out there with an all male tank who wants him. But like Sheldon said, maybe start with a powerhead, if nothing else it will circulate water...

Jay, turns out there was 4 males. Now I have three with 4 females i think lol I might get rid of another one. I have a potential person to give him too.

In that album there is also pictures of my dominant male. Hes a beaut and he still isnt fully mature!

So I ended up distrupting my tank too much today and one of my females spit out her fry. Luckily she spit them out in a bucket! They no longer have eggs sacks and look like little fishies I have them in their own 10 gallon right now so hopefully they will make it. I read something about the gestational period for these fish is like 21 days? she has only had them for give or take about 8 days from what I am aware of. A couple other females have eggs too so I will have more fry coming by the looks of it! Here are some pictures!

I have about 10 or so Celebese rainbows... but they are quite a bit smaller... and i think they might get chased around or eaten if i put them in :S
