Who Gives A Fish Forums

It's possible she's just keeping them clean, I've seen that behavior before with my own female, she'd do the same thing and the eggs would hatch out just fine.

I'd avoid hang-on-back filters for small tanks. They create too much current. Sponge filters are the way to go, and they're cheap too. Heater-wise, go for adjustable ones, not preset.

yeah i thought that too but they dont really match the fuelleborni i've seen in maidenhead

does anyone else have any experience with fish breeding?

just got a pair of fish that bred in my tank, and i know they weren't listed as such in the shop. i've put up a little video of them mating too - they were listed as fuelleborni, but i guess that was wrong.

Cheers mate, I was thinkin' the same, Johanni, but these ones are more on the reddy/orange side rather than yellow, know what I mean?

anybody got any ideas on these little guys?

i still dont know what they are - they're more orange than yellow...anyone got any ideas? i've got 10 of them, but a couple are developing dark stripes, although they're pretty faded - i'm wondering if these are males starting to colour up?

i picked up a few of these as johannii when they were tiny, now they're about 3 inches - any ideas on what they are now?
