The Scarlet Dario Dario

Just wanted to keep my promise.

Here's pics of the little devil himself and gals:

They're cute.

I have seen no untoward aggression. Not even the male chasing the females. I think I lost a few, when I first got them. I may not have fed them right. I am missing 2 or 3. But I believe I have at least 4--2 boys and 2 girls.

Beautiful badis!

I think a blow up of that 1st one is cute. Take a look. He's a cutie--and handsome too! The badis-dario forum has backed me into a corner and squeezed a promise to try to breed them. Haha. You should see the tank I have to create. It took me almost six months to get one even close to it. haha

Anyway, comet take a look as he looks at himself in the glass:

"Just look at my bad self! But turn off the flash!"

and the second blown up

They are special little fish. And if no one eats them, good community fish.

I keep finding more slipping out of the brush. I have counted five for sure now. I believe I bought 7 but it could have been 5 or 6.

It has been reluctantly confirmed that the male scarlet dario dario goes on a terrorizing rampage when he is guarding eggs. I think the cockatoos are safe. Especially Flash. He is the undisputed ruler of his world and outlying areas. :saddam:

So I have to change the report to "if they don't eat anyone, they are good community fish."

I am in the process of trying to corral the females to put in a separate tank which will become the breeding tank when it's done. I think I have two more females to lasso.
