    Found babies!

    I found this little guy while cleaning my tank, I also saw a baby red zebra about the same size. He probably won't survive but I thought it was neat! My first batch of babies that I have actually seen.

    Wow this has been a bad week!

I can only see three in the tank right now, my...

    maingano

    quick question, i noticed that in my tank about 2 or 3 maingano are very dark black with blue stripes, and some are lighter, why is this? the darker ones are definitely more aggressive, could it be that they are males? i will try to post pics, not of my fish but of the color difference.
