Some of the fish I had to move to make the Ctenopomas happy for life :)


BTW, does the pale honey gourami look like it's a female? The other one is bright yellow (In back right corner of tank) I think I have a pair or one sick one :dunno:

Wonderful fish! Those ctenopomas are amazing! I think you do have a honey pair BTW - the female deffinately looks right - silvery brown. The male's rather yellow though :p Provided they haven't had a color change recently towards being paler, you don't have anything to worry about.

Cool, the honeys were always the same color until recently, one got brighter and the other got duller, although their behavior is the same as always :dunno: It'd be cool if I got them to breed, these guys are special to me, mostly because they survived camalanus nematodes! :p
 
Oh cool, is your bushfish gray normally? or is that the camera? Mine tend to say a light to dark green. Wonderful pictures all around :)
 
Great pics, Dwarfs! :cool:

Your rainbows are beautiful. :wub: I don't think I've ever seen them around here.

My Bushfish is much darker than yours, you can barely tell where the spots start and end. I wonder if thats more their adult color, since mine is about 2.5" .
