There are 4 males and 6 females. Only 2 males will color up at a time. Something to do with dominance. There aren't any proven breeding pairs yet but the females are juveniles right now. Not many people keep this fish, so I'm still working on the profile and will post it soon. this is...

So my new crew has arrived! Here is a video of me feeding them a pond snail. Awesome little fish. https://youtu.be/VbvKEXxG0vg this is the life.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am not certain the beneficial bacteria will survive a 2-5 day shipping period. I could be wrong. But I thought it died off fairly quickly without water. If you're getting it from someone nearby though it will work for sure. Sent from my D6708 using Aquarium...

I did, thank you. Very excited. does Buce melt a lot when acclimating? Just want to know what to expect. I read that some Buce can melt almost all the way back to the rhizome before new growth Sent from my D6708 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I might be back for more Bucephalandra. Could you assist me with pronunciation please? :-) Sent from my D6708 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have what you need, but most will be small. I could root out the big ones if I can find them. The assassin snails keep them in check but can't eliminate them before they make babies:) Any plants to trade? Or just pay for shipping and I'll send you some. Sent from my D6708 using Aquarium...

I am interested, but am not sure if it will grow in a 29g. I am only running a fugeray planted plus, which is medium light in my tank. Does this need highlight? I have assassin snails for trade if you're interested. Sent from my D6708 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

The smell is normal. And it doesn't make your tank smell, it's just a product of the absorbed material. I have 4 tanks, each with copious amounts of purigen. After a few months when it's brown, I recharge it using the bleach:water mixture on the instructions. And voila! It works like new...

Holy Moss tank, Batman!.:) That's cool. I will only have the sub in there, along with some mini pelia that was included. That red moss would look good against my white sand though. Sent from my D6708 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ok cool. Glad to hear the Susswasertang will be fine. Does it make cleaning the tank difficult? I don't usually vacuum my sand but in the other tank I have cory and they stir up the debris enough that it gets pulled into the filter. This tank won't have any cory. The Buces need medium light...

New plants! Okay so I got a few plants and accessories in the mail this week! In the corner I covered the output of the powerhead with a media bag filled with sponge to reduce the flow but allow aeration. I also switched the large sponge from the AC70 to the powerhead. It's working great so...

Pm sent. I'll take the Buce Red Pigeon asap please! Sent from my SGP561 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm requesting recent photos of them from the breeder. Other than that, there are SOME pictures online but not many. I think there may be one YouTube video out there of PPS but it's low quality. Sent from my D6708 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
