So I spent my day moving stock around and picked up 5 additional Meeki from 4 different locations. These are in my 33 Long with the 6th Meeki. Hoping to get 2 pairs and will either rehome the remaining 2 or set up another tank for them.
Then I also moved some of my boring tropical out of the 30 and moved my Maronii with 2 new Maronii from 2 different shops into the 30. Hoping to get1 pair. My Pulcher is in a 29 temporarily until I either rehome him or set up a larger tank for him. Now I just need to rehome some tetras and a gourami and possibly the Pulcher.
I have to say thank you to Mog on here because I think the Meeki tank is my favorite right now. I cant get a really good pic right now because every one is new and still run for cover when I get too close to the tank. So that's how I spent my sunday.
 
A short video. Their still a little stressed and I think starting to establish a pecking order. I also need to add more caves, rocks and plants.

1 came from petsmart in wheaton 1 from petco in bloomingdale 1 from tropi-quatics 1 from petsmart in downers grove and 1 from a small shop on north ave I believe its in st Charles. I am hoping they all have no sibling ties in any way.

They are all likely from the same wholesaler even if bought at different stores in the area.

I figured that on the chain stores. The 2 lfs get them from local breeders.

Who also likely got them from that same LFS or chain stores. I'm not trying to be a downer but there's a good chance their gene pools are very close.

True I didn't think of that.

I noticed that some of these are thicker than the others. Is this just variation in general or is there a possibility its a male female difference.
