The biggest one I've ever had...

It is very easy to tell mature males from females if you look at them next to each other. Females are significantly fatter. It's entirely possible you have all females.fishmamma;5098669; said:Idk, I couldn't see his privates!!
I really can't tell the difference, I know that the females are supposed to be a little puffier.. but they kinda all look puffy... and if that were the case, I better start seeing some babies..
I bet CASH MONEY you won't get a successful spawn in the tank they are in now--just too many fish to eat the eggs. It's unlikely they will even spawn with their current tank mates, but not impossible.
If you really want to breed them, buy a 10 gallon, put them in alone, and do cool water changes every other day, and feed plenty of food. Then remove them and put them back in the 125 once they spawn. That is, if you don't have all females.
My wood is coming!! I ordered ordered it last night!!! Super excited about that!!!!
You know, I've actually been stalking them out lately (alot) and I think I may have a mix, of male and female... because there are 2-3 that are signifigently fatter than the others..
Cold water changes, huh? How cold? for how long should they be in the 10g?It's pretty warm down here, so my tap comes out right about 80 degrees.. it's hard to change the temp in my tanks unless I were to cool it a bit with some ice.. I do have an extra 10g, just itching to be filled... humm!
I won't take you up on that bet either, cause your very likely to be right!aclockworkorange;5101107; said:It is very easy to tell mature males from females if you look at them next to each other. Females are significantly fatter. It's entirely possible you have all females.

Thank you.. The male is actually faded right now.. he hates me for moving him from the 55 and he hasn't colored back up for me...
feeders? their for feeding...
I know, I know.. I let them have live sometimes.. I'm working on breeding my own.. You should see how much my eel loves ghost shrimp and feeder fish.. it's really fun watching him hunt..
