That is EXACTLY my problem. It has a bigger body, long pectoral, longer bottom fins, and a pretty solid black dot... But a bright pink belly.

I need some help sexing this GBR and I was hoping y'all could help.

Got a perfectly posed picture of the third one!!

So I have a few GBRs in my 20 gallon and I'm hoping a couple pair up but I need help sexing them. This is the newest one. He's kinda pale but I'm pretty sure it's a male. Any opinions? The next one is the oldest. Her belly gets bright pink so I'm pretty sure it's a female. The...

So I just got back from a few days vacation and had my friend adding some ammonia every day to keep my fishless cycle going. When I got back I tested my water and got these readings. A huge pH drop! Ammonia - 4 ppm Nitrite - dropped from 5+ to 0 ppm PH - dropped from 8.4 when I left, to 6.4...

I'm really likening this stock. What order do y'all think would be best to add them in?

Is it weird at all to have a nitrate reading this early in a cycle? It's day 6 in my fishless cycle. Ammo- 1-2 ppm Ites- 2-5 ppm Ates- 20 ppm I dosed the ammonia back up to 4 ppm

Day 4- Ammo- 1.0 Nitrites- .25 Nitrates- haha Doses the ammonia back up to 4.0 ppm

You too! And a quick question. Would a pH of around 8.2 or so hurt my chances of keeping/ breeding the rams?

After lurking on this site for quite a while, I have decided to post my own adventure! I've dealt with the guppy fun tank and platy communities but now I'm stepping it up a notch. I just bought my own 20 gallon and I plan on stocking it with a pair of German Blue Rams and some other community...

Even if its a long tube fluorescent and not incandescent bulbs?

For the time being, I'm going to purchase a 20 gallon starter kit. I have some anarcharis and corkscrew Val growing in another tank at home and I was wondering which light setup would work best. The kit can either come with a 24'' fluorescent tube light or an LED strip of lights with 12 little...

Awesome news!... Not. My other tanks water hardness is at about 300 (gH) ppm using some test strips.

Those are such pretty fish! Would it be alright to get 2 females and a male an let them pair up that way?

Do you think they would still be able to breed in some harder and higher pH water?

Alright, I guess I'll ask around to see if anyone else there knows. Thanks for the info :)

The problem with that is the petsmart by me had GBRs for $6 while the only LFS carrying them by me sell them for $20. And the petsmart doesn't know where they are bred.

How would using blackwater extract work for the fish help?

As I set up and plan my tank for a pair of GBRs to hopefully breed in the future, my research shows that they mostly are accustomed to soft water especially when it come to breeding time. The problem is, I live in central Texas and were known for notoriously hard water. I was wondering what...

So would you think the bacteria starter or the seeded material would be best for the cycle?

So I'm starting a new 20 gallon fresh water and to help start the cycle I will be putting in some gravel, filter material, and plants from an already cycled tank. I will most likely do a fishless cycle. So the question, do I need to add bacteria starter if I'm already "seeding" my tank from...

After a little bit more research I'm thinking of getting maybe 3 and seeing if 2 pair up then letting my sister adopt the other one. Would 2 females and 1 male be best for that?

I might end up paying a little bit more money and just going for some German rams. How many do you think could go in a cubic 30 gallon? Just one pair or could I get 2 pairs?

Well that sucks. Guess I'm gonna have to go with a few less fish than with a lengthy tank?
