Well I went out and bought three gorgeous boesmans this evening. It appears that one is female and two are male. Gotta find some more females! Anyway, prior to these three coming in, it was only 6 zebra danios, 2 ottos, and a gorgeous lake tebera (yellow) rainbowfish. Well this yellow rainbow is very active and outgoing and I love him and he didn't seem to be bothered about being the only rainbow in the tank. So of course, I was curious as to see how he would react when I introduced the boesmans tonight.
He seems to be okay, just making it obvious to them that it was his house before theirs. I noticed this very large very bright white stripe going across the top of his head. I've seen it come out when he was excited but never this large or this bright. Also he has been twitching a real lot. Like really fast spazms. I know its not my water params because I checked them before I went out to buy these new guys. I think he may either be really excited (maybe horny?), or really pissed off.
Is this activity normal for rainbows?
Also, off topic but I recieved a free 30 gallon today from a co worker. I'm thinking about putting sand in it. Would a pair of convicts be okay with sand? Or do they require gravel?
Let me know and TIA!
