But with the right care, right foods, and patience, they become gorgeous fishies
The thing is, that when I look on the internet for pictures of these fish, almost 90% of the time they show dull, fat fish with transparent fins, their keyhole not showing, etc. BTW, in my case, the male has the black dot on his back (keyhole) all the time, and the female only when they have eggs/young or when she's competing with the male for an algae wafer or other foods. And offcourse when they start courting they are even more beautifull, spreading their fins out as far as possible, all colours brighter then normal,etc....
Thanks for the compliments.....
And gheitman, you could easily keep a pair in a 20 g + some otos. That would make a nice setup. 20 g for a pair is a bare minimum though, you probably wouldn't be able to raise allot of fry or anything. 30 g long would be better
