    I have a 40 gallon breeder in the bay window of my kitchen. It only gets early morning sun, for about 1 hour.

    I picked up 2 new fish this weekend. I'm not sure what the names were, although I know for a fact just because there's a name tag on the tank, It's not necessarily what's in there. Anyway here are 3 pics. 2 are of the same fish it was being difficult. The brown fish is very cool. The polka...

    Egg spots on fins?

    This may have been covered. Is it safe to say the fish with egg spots on their fin's are males? Or is there no truth to that. I thought the reason they were there was to confuse the female.
