nothing special on the setup. I am not trying to breed so the water chemistry is less important. Currently he is living in a half-filled ten gallon, because the spare heater I have is only for 2-5 gallons (the 10g heater is keeping baby cichlids warm). When I have some more cash on hand he'll be getting upgraded to something bit more appropriate, but he seems content enough, he builds inch-high bubblenests
I very much prefer the short finned variants to the long finned, but as to wild vs domestic colors, i'm not as picky. though i must say, show me a blue marble DTPK and I'm in love
I'm more picky about wild vs domestic colors. Marbles are my least favorite of the varieties. Now don't everybody jump at me at once! There is comfort in knowing that when you go to bed, your fish will the same color when you get up the next morning.
I need that stability.
