Thanks! Not sure yet. The lighter of the 2 seems to be more feminine but also very bossy. They are not quite a year yet so we'll see.

Gold marbles in a lip lock. They always seem to be bickering at each other but still make me proud.

Interesting topic to think about. My bleeding heart platies are very fast and all the fry stay at the bottom until they get large enough to swim with the crowd and not be considered a snack. All my platy fry go into hiding at the bottom even when there are no predators. My albino galaxy guppy...

I'm curious, would it do any harm if they used the sealed off small flower pot? I now know that their natural instinct prefers small spaces so I was going to pull that pot out and find something more narrow. I went into the fish room to do so and sure enough, the male has claimed the pot and has...

Alright, will do. I was thinking of how I could make a cave myself so I siliconed a small flower pot plate to the open end of the pot and drilled a hole in the bottom. I didn't know they liked enclosed spaces so I'll switch things around. Thanks for the tip!

Awesome information! Helps me out a lot! I'll keep a close eye on her in the coming weeks, I won't expect success the first time but I'm definitely excited they're on their way to possibly pairing up. I've been feeding them zucchini, veg wafers, and occasional shrimp pellets (which she loves)...

I have had bushy nose plecos for about a year and a half now. My most bold and active female seems to be getting a bit chubby. I am wondering if any pleco experts can tell me if she is gravid...or just a well fed pleco. I found a nice 3" male for her and introduced him into the tank a few weeks...

Hey I have freshwater clams and I really like them. I bought them to work in my tank. They filter and clean the sand and do quite a nice job of it. Here is a couple of tips: 1. Don't buy them unless you use sand in your tanks. 2. Don't buy them to watch--clams are constantly burrowed in the sand...

Very cool, be sure to post some photos of it in the tank when you get that far. I'm excited to see how the finished product looks!

The barbells should come to a sharp point. If they are worn down they would be rounded at the tips. Just a thought since if they are worn off they can stop eating and waste away. I have a group of juvenile pandas that were very skittish and hid in the back when I got them. Thought I was going to...
