I haven't thought about that, but I still don't know if I'd be able to tell the gender. I'm thinking that I'll just keep one of them.

So you're thinking I should get rid of the male and get a female? My only problem with that is I don't know which ones are females because they are quite young at the lfs. I don't even know for sure that the one that's being bullied is a female. I don't want to buy another one if the situation...

Firstly, thanks for the reply. I appreciate your opinion. I think I will be taking one of them back, because although I love them, I don't really want any more pearls. My larger one (male) isn't aggresive towards other species of fish, or at least not towards any I currently own, so hopefully...

I need somebody's opinion. My gouramis are still not getting along. The larger one (male?) is chasing the smaller one whenever it's in view. So the smaller pearl is forced to sit on the gravel all day behind plants. As it's constantly hiding it doesn't really get the chance to eat anything. I'm...

That's a great price! I haven't seen any guppies that cheap where I live (also in Australia).

If there was someone to pay for everything, then sure, I'd get a marine tank today. I would adapt to the change and do any extra maintenance needed quite happily. But beng only 14 and not having a job, I can not afford it. I also don't have the space, as it would have to go in my bedroom and my...

The smaller pearl (the female - if that's what it is) is still getting chased by the larger pearl (the male). Will the male stop chasing the 'female'? I am afraid that 'she' might be getting stressed. I've noticed that when they go near each other they both stick out their bottom fin (don't...

You have beautiful fish and a stunning tank. I can't wait to see what you do with it once you've moved it, changed substrate, ect.

Does that mean you think it is a female? If it's a female then why is the male chasing it constantly?

Here are some more pics. They aren't the best quality, but I doubt I'll be able to get any better ones. The first pic is of the pearl that you thought was a male and the second is of the other one. The male (???) pearl gourami The unknown pearl gourami (the one that's fully in the picture...

Thanks for your help. I will try to get some more pics up later today. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more pics of the pearl in the back.

With the help of many tff members I recently restocked my 90 litre tank. (See my other thread here.) My worry now is that I may have 2 male pearl gouramis. I was told to get either 1 male and 1 female or 2 females. I thought I had 2 females, but I'm now thinking that they're both males. My...

One of my bettas once jumped out of the cords hole on his tank. It probably should have been covered but it was only really small and about 2 inches above the water. Anyway, he jumped out of his tank onto the table it was sitting on, and then off the table and onto the ground. I was at school...

BUMP!!! Anybody have any ideas? I'm starting to get really worried about my fish. I can try to get some more pics if that is what's needed.

After sitting down and watching my new pearls for some time, I think I may have discovered their gender. I was watching them eat, carefully looking over their bodies, trying to find something that would help me identify their sex. I noticed that the one that was thought to be a male by...

Thanks for your opinion BadBadger. I will see if I can get more pics to help with sexing them, but I doubt I'll have much luck! lol Can anybody else try to sex them?

Any comments on my new fish? Also, I would appreciate it if someone could possibly try to sex them.

I only got 1 good photo. They didn't want to sit still. LOL! These are my 2 new fish:

I went to the LFS yesterday and bought my 2 pearls. They seem to be settling in well and are eating and everything. Will get some pics and hopefully post them later.

Just come to South Australia. :good: You'll be nice and warm here. LOL! Perhaps a little TOO warm. :lol:

You have some amazing looking fish there. :hyper: And WOW! They are HUGE!!! I can't wait to see what it looks like with lights and when it is completely stocked. :good:

PICS!!! :good:

I was planning to go to the LFS this weekend, but not anymore! :sad: Although I'm not going for a different reason than you and most other people. Today in South Australia the forecast is saying that it's going to be 41 degrees C. And Sunday and Monday are going to be 43 degrees C. :crazy: I...

That's what mine do. Well, I have glowlights and corys, but they kinda act the same. The tetras shoal most of the time, but then I'll look in the tank and realise that one tetra isn't with them. It usually scares me because I think something has happened to one of them, but it doesn't take long...

WOW!!! :hyper: Those fish are beautiful. They're so bright and pretty. :drool: The tank looks awesome too. I wish I had a tank like that.

The babies are really cute. How big are they? I think the cory is a Julii, but get someone elses opinion because I don't know much about cories. I love your fish. They are really pretty and the crab looks like and interesting little character. Lol. I really like the look of your tank from...

I'm not sure about the honeys, but I saw pearls in my LFS when I bought my cories, so hopefully there will still be some there next time I go. (Whenever that is. Lol. I have to wait until my dad can take me.) And I know that my LFS has dwarves, so that could be an option as well. I know the...

Looking good. Where did you get the plants. I bought a set of plants from my LFS and they are exactly the same.

Really? That seems kinda harsh that you could get fired. But I guess the fish stores want peoples fish to die so they can make more money. I don't know if it metioned fishless cycling itself, but it definately mentioned getting mature media. And it was really loud, easily able for anybody...

The other day I went to one of my favourite LPS and went straight to the fish section. I hadn't been there in a while and I was suprised when I saw that they had installed a tv and dvd player. It was playing a program about how to look after fish and stocking and stuff like that. I was even more...

I have tried that. I scrubbed the glass today when I did my water change, but the filter still wouldn't stick. I don't think it's a big problem. It still runs fine, it just has to sit on the bottom. And I don't mind putting my hand in the tank. Lol. It just gets annoying when you have to do it...

I'll be sure to keep an eye on my cories, as you said. Yeah my filter is at the bottom cos the little suction things on the back won't stick to the glass and it keeps falling off after a few hours. I got sick of sticking my hand in there to put it back up so I just kinda positioned it at the...

Here are some pics of my 90 litre tank. (And a pic of one of my cories.) They are not the best pictures and as I've said the lighting is kind of weird. Everything looks more yellow than it actually is. But here are the pics anyway: The whole tank One of my cories I hope you like them.

I'm fairly sure I'm gonna get honey or pearl gouramis, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I'm glad you like the betta tank. I know my betta likes it. He loves playing hide-and-seek and exploring in and around all the plants. BTW if anyone has any name suggestions for him, feel free to post and tell me. I'm kind of stuck for a name. My glowlights are fat. Well, they are fat when...

Thank you. I will try to get some pictures of the 90 litre tank, but they probably won't be very good. The lighting in there is weird and when I take pics everything looks really bright. Like, it looks too bright. I'll try to get some pics anyway. I don't have the gouramis yet and I don't know...

Bump. Anybody want to see the pictures?

Here are the pics. Some are a bit blurry but I couldn't get any better ones. Some of my glowlight tetras: One of my bronze corys: My betta: My bettas tank: I hope you enjoy all the pictures! Ally.

I can assure everyone that my betta is well cared for. I took some pics of him and the tank and some of my new fish today. I will post them soon. It was very difficult to get a good pic of the tetras and the corys because they are constantly moving. Lol. My betta was hard to get pictures of too...

I know most people will probably have a go at me for the size of my betta tank. It is 2 gallons. And I know that it is recommended for the tank to be bigger than that, but I am not allowed to get another tank. The tank has a cycled filter and a heater, and the water is changed often. My last...
