Fletch

Lol. Well done. :-).

Told you that showing them with teddy bears works. Sure I read that somewhere. (you know who you are. Lol)

Looks good mate.

Rules are ment to be broken. :-). Just be aware that trouble could flare up at any time but hey, if it's working, leave em be.

Without trying different things, we never learn. My father had so many different cichlids in the one tank, both African and American. Many people still don't believe me until I show pics. Have been accused many times in an aquarium of lying or the best "you must not know your fish, they would never live together". Lol. Not sure if you remember my black orchid spawn, I took dad out when the fry were old enough to JAR. Six or more weeks. :-)

Fingers crossed for you mate. Love the look of the CTPK.

I have had girls do that right before spawning. On side, breathing rapidly. Look almost dead. :-).

Hope they spawn soon.

Fingers crossed for you Sarah. :-)

Fantastic fish Sarah. Really hope you have some luck spawning them. :-)

Sorry to hear this. :-(

Thanks Les. All three are sisters. Not sure about the red one, very surprised with this fish. The white one with black fins will continue to change, give it a week or two and fins will cello out.

I noticed that the red one went completely cello then slowly got a red/orange tinge about her, starting above the head that just keeps getting deeper in color with time. All these girls are in community tank so I have no plans to breed these girls.

Might take one or both to next BA (Betta Australis) meeting for the table show.

Tank totally overgrown ATM and needs a thin out. :-)

For Les.

Ps.....thanks for the comment, lots of views but no comments. Lol. Find it very strange regarding the red fish. All boys that cello'd out died slowly, not long after the change. Girls just power on. Would love to know why.

Third vote for female. :-)

Excuse reflection but this is the only shots that I got all three together.

One in front of shot now looks almost red. This was the girl I last posted about.

Girl at back is now completely white in the body with black fins.

Also normal girl in shots as well. :-)

A lot of shops won't accept any fish from the general public as they know how most people look after there fish.

I wish I had a $ for Everytime someone has offered to show me their tank and I can see signs of disease in the tank. Most just respond by "that's why we are always buying fish to top it up. Seem to lose a few almost every week.". Even cichlid keepers do this.

Very depressing really. :-(

I think I can pick out my first boy. 90% sure he has just started to sprout, both caudal and anal fins. :-).

So excited.

I find it amazing that we have all had so many different experiences with the same fish.

Not much help really, we all contradict each other. Lol.

Lol. I was only thinking of the angels eating the tetras. :-)

I rekon they should be ok. :-)

My Pakistani loaches didnt eat enough to dent the population. Bought 4 clown loaches, six months later when I had no snails, returned them to store for credit.

Snail trap. Also the clown loach is a good option. :-).

Great idea Razzi. Thanks.

Well done Matt. :-)

Thanks Les. Two T8 globes and DIY Co2 when I can be bothered. None running ATM. :-)

Thanks Sarah. Watch your Rummys closely, long before you realize something is up, these guys lose all color in their nose as soon as water not up to scratch. Worth the purchase price just for that. :-).

The betta girls went straight from growout into community tank so I haven't had any issues. Once I jar a girl, I don't re introduce her back. I find that once jarred they change, become very territorial.

Only issue I had was algae at the start but that settled itself really.

There is one cello girl and another that is going that way. I think you get a glimpse of her in the following video.

Really love the Rummynose, cant praise these guys enough. Tank is very relaxing, no bullying at all. Shame the hardscape disappeared. Lol.

@Matt......very funny Milkcrate. You grow me the moss rocks and I will kill them slowly. :-)

From this....

To this....

Hardscape all but gone. Chain sword has taken over bit I like the effect.

Very happy with this tank. Very little maintenance now it's up and running, do water changes when I feel like it.

Mine are all red. Is this normal??? Lol

Very excited about this. Will be very interesting in 3 mths to see everyone's fish. :-)

Don't forget to strain the water once you have aged it and before adding it to the tank...........

Too far??? Lol.
