gulp Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 He is very difficult to take pics of, either hiding under a log or alongside leaves or darting quickly so the camera (iPhone) cant focus.

paul Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 He's really quite impressive with those massive pectorals. I wonder if these extensions actually work to make swimming easier or harder for the little guys. I'm sure it's neither, or if it is, it's probably not a noticeable difference... but I just wonder.

gulp Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Doesnt seem to make much difference, although they are quite flimsy fins, so maybe they might cause some drag. He is happy though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanagi Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I've got two Dumbos currently, had more previously, all short fins or females though, the big pectorals don't seem to cause any hindrance in swimming ability. Pretty boy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 The big Pectorals never seemed to hinder my HM Dumbo. He was one of my fastest fish when chasing the girls around the spawn tank. Only problem was that he never knew what to do once he caught up with them, so would attack after a moment of indecision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_and_a_day Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 surprising that those huge pecs don't hinder them. that probably means the influx of dumbos isn't going down anytime soon XD and for a lid maybe just cut a clear display folder cover to size? i do that for tanks that don't come with a lid. that or gladwrap. but gladwrap is kinda ugly.
