fuzzy_dragonfly Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 PS don't worry about the loach, she has finer substrate and more plants to hide amongst now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 aw Klara, the kuhli is so cute! Is the 2nd one down a bolivian butterfly or a german ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Definately bolivian butterfly, I think german rams have a more red face don't they? BTW that's not the full colouring, the black has intensified since that pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 That is a Microgeophagus altispinosa (Bolivian Ram) they all can get quite confusing, bolivian, butterflies, rams, and so forth! It's all twisted If you have him on dark substrate, he will camoflage to it I prefer bolivian's to be in light subtrate where they can almost shimmer in the sunlight Peaceful, yet sometimes agressive little busy bodies they are :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 It is on light substrate, I think it has something to do with the fish's mood. In the morning before i turn the tank light on she's all grey then during the day she turns a nice opally-yellow/pink colour and during feeding time the stripe on her eye, the dorsal stripe and a spot of her back turn jet black (very classy). Almost left out the tetra brood: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I think your right, they can change to their moods. Do you have a pair of them? I never got any to spawn, I more then likey had the same sex fish :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 No she was the last one in the shop, but I have been looking into getting her a partner, not for breeding, just for company. Here you can see her just about as coloured up as she gets, shame there was a glare in this photo, there were fingerprints on the glass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Thats the shimmer I love!! Good luck on finding a buddy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Well for now she appears quite content with 2 female betta. I do have a possible friend comming soon, but it will all depend on wheather I can get a larger tank. Recent vet bills have killed off any chance of the bigger tank I wanted any time soon but let's hope lucks on my side, I may be able to temporarily accomodate her buddy in a quarantine tank for a month or so .
