this is a male

if so then the bright red ones would have been males and the duller ones will have been female.

Yeah, they looked a lot like that if I remember right. The spot was bright red. Absolutely stunning.

by **kizno1** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:30 pm

by **Irish_Lass** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:35 pm

No, they were Cichlids. At least that's what the label said! Wink

does it look like them?

by **Irish_Lass** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 7:08 pm

Aye, that's definitely more like them. Smile

by **kizno1** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 7:09 pm

yh kribs they get to about 15cm and are extreamly agressive when breeding.

by **Irish_Lass** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 7:10 pm

I would never have them. Bettas are about as aggressive as I'll ever get. Smile

I am so sorry Kizno, maybe they don't like each other?

by **kizno1** on Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:32 pm

duno they have only picked on 1 out of the 4. but then his one does seem to get picked on hes the runt and hasnt grown much since i got him where as the others have grown over 2cm. i might see if my lfs will swap them for corys or a pair of keyholes.

by **SheenaShoup** on Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:35 pm

Yeah, they do tend to pick on weak ones more with any breed of animal. Nature's way of kulling I guess! pullhair

by **kizno1** on Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:36 pm

yh but hes not that bad and it just seems to be this one that its got hold of but it still chases the others.

by **SheenaShoup** on Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:39 pm

by **kizno1** on Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:44 pm
