my bloodfins and black phantoms love peas ... i take them out of the shell, shmoosh em in half and they go crazy. also i heat em up in the microwave a bit first then let them cool down just to soften them up. you can also try spinach if you have a veggie clip, try freezing it for a bit first.

females have red in their lower fins, males don't.

was having the same problems, took 3 or 4 days for a few of my black phantoms to start swimming around in my tank, but a few of them still wern't really coming out. a few days of water changes fixed that, the amonea was really high, they swim around with the light on and off now.

got the water tested at pets mart, everything was reasonable, amonea was a little high but not really harmfull, guess thats to be expected. i did the test before a water change, then when i got back changed the water, so it should be even better now. i removed the rock, they seem to be swiming...

so i got 4 black phantoms 2 days ago, they havn't done much since then. in the tank with them is 3 bloodfins, they are fine, swim around a lot together, eat, etc. they took about a day to come around to eating and swiming around freely. they are all in a 20 gallon with a bio-wheel, tempeture...
