My new pleco and gourami!

[Hholly]

The pleco is a "Panama red."












The gourami is a pearl. Boy or girl???

Wow, nice fish. I like the pleco! That is definitely a female Pearl.

 

[Hholly]

Cool thanks! Now I know her name is Pearl and not Earl, lol.

Very nice fish! I agree, definite female.

 

[Hholly]

Thanks! Are you all seeing that by the fins or the body shape?

Yes. Mostly finnage and looking "heavy" as well. Also the males tend to get blues higher on the body and along the lateral line.

Cool, I just saw that the "Panama Red" is actually a variant of a Bristlenose Pleco. They are awesome fish!

 

[Hholly]

Yeah, he's way more active and wiggly than my albino BN. A voracious feeder.
