    Me again! This is what ( I think) I know: That the females are larger and that their anal fin is straighter. - I think it goes down perpendicular to their body. Males are a bit smaller and their anal fins are crescent shaped. When they mate the male and female will swim/ wiggle alongside one...

I also have a couple female betas in the tank (which are going to be moved soon but everyone else is still small). I am debating if I should get more SDs and try to breed them. I do not know how to...

    Peacock eels in 40 gallon freshwater tankmates

    It was recommended that I get red line sharks 10-ish for my tank ( instead of tiger barbs) and I wanted to know if they would be ok. Also the same person thought that a leaf fish and tiger barbs would be ok and not harm the other fish. I got the live gravel and sand from the fish store! It was...

I don't want the tank to look empty. also, I don't know if it was you who told me but someone said that the peacock eels would not be happy with aggressive fish.

    New tank ideas for stocking

    I agree! I bought 2 gourami when I first started a 10 gal tank a few years ago and the petstore sold me 1 blue and 1 opaline (saying they were both blue) now my blue gourami is sooo mean! I am going to be putting him in a big tank with other fish his size.

    Plant Beginner

    What type of substrate do you have in your tank? Also, when you plant any type of plant you want to cover the roots/ bottom with the grave or sand. Then, when you clean your tank be careful not to uproot your plants or they might die. I have a 10 gallon tank that I try to keep planted but my...

    Peacock eels in 40 gallon freshwater tankmates

    Upside down catfish are cute! I just don't want them to be miserable. What about danios? Zebra or possibly giant danios. I would like to put my large opaline gourami inthe tank. He is bossing my other fish around. Also with my tank setup... I am going to add a cave and possibly a PVC tube/ tunnel.

    Peacock eels in 40 gallon freshwater tankmates

    Ok. I have heard that some fish will get very ill from eating blackworms and would like feeding time to not get too complicated. I read about the baby whales and you can only have one per tank. Also an quite randomly, have you seen a dragon goby before? And do you have any information about them?
