Hyphessobrycon anisitsi will work well for dithers up to when the 1st carpintis hits about 6 to 7 inches. At that point I would expect them to start disappearing. I get them at pet smart when they are a $1 a piece.
How many of them have the black splotch on the dorsal fin? I consider that about 89% positive female.
Thanks for advice about the BAs
So it odd... One always has the black spot unless she is stressed out, she also has the thinner body of the female, and very rounded fins.
The very smallest, however, confuzzles me. It sometimes has the spot and sometimes doesn't... I would say about 40% it does and 60% it doesn't. It also has a very slight bump to its forehead... It may well be a small male.
The big one is male, 95% sure. Long pointy fins, growing a hump, grows quick, the boss... And from my limited venting experience, it looks to be a male. So unless its screwed up across all accounts, i think its male.
Im willing to buy more if you think its a good idea, but i only have the dough for the BAs or 4 new Tex. I can get the people at the shop to get me any fish I'm pointing out, or i just wont buy them... That kinda seems rude, but some if them know that when i say "i want a male/female" to get me what i want... So is it best to add 2 males and 2 females, or all females, or what? I like the male i have so preferably i would add 1 male and 3 females. The one male would be to introduce a bit of competition...
If money cant buy happiness, that why do I need a job? I mean, I should be getting these fish free, since I don't have to pay for happy...
