Piscineidiot Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hi everyone, My name's Owen, and I'm currently located in Townsville. I currently have three planted tanks, the newest of which was a Tanganyikan cichlid tank up until a few weeks ago. It's now become my 4'x18"x18" planted nano-fish/shrimp tank. I've also recently discovered wild bettas, and have two Betta channoides, although I can never be sure if I have a pair or two males. I'll be looking at getting a few more down the line anyway. Anyway, hope to learn heaps from this forum, and to contribute where I can. Cheers, Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Yeah, those channoides can be difficult to sex. A friend had a couple last year which I stared at for a quite a long time and observed behaviour over many weeks without ever being able to come to a conclusion. Good luck with them. And welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piscineidiot Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks Bettarazzi. I guess i'll just have to bite the bullet and get half a dozen of them. Surely, at least ONE of them will be female then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bewarebrunette Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hello Townsvillian! I know of one other on here, and possibly more. I'm up in not so sunny Cairns (and I believe Townsville is pretty wet today?) I am looking at doing a trip down there in two weekends time, do a scope of the fish shops and aquariums. Welcome to the forum, a wealth of knowledge on here, and great people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
