michael.qian Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 You have low lighting? Or are they not all turned on? polysperma, val grass, blue hygrophila (grows very fast in my tank with medium lighting), even my osiris plant grows very well, so you could try that if you have medium lighting. lots more as well, java moss, java fern....

Dixon1990 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I havent made the lid with lighting yet. At the moment i just have a lamp with a 6500k energy saver light bulb. I might try some val if i can find some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Awesome looking leopard fish. You should get some cory doras (pandas are my favourite) I've heard that they don't eat fry and they do a great job of cleanig your gravel and are really interesting to watch. Also you could get some ottos they do a superb job at cleaning algae of your plants and glass but are said to sometimes be a bit hard to keep. I've had a group in my community tank and they're fine. Also how many litres does your tank hold? (I'm just curious :lol: ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice looking fish and the fry seem to be VERY well fed LOL :roll: I would add Corydoras paleatus as a bottom dweller. They love to school, so 3 to 5 would be good. They can stand lower temps than most other cories and would do well with the Phalloceros. Hope you will breed lots so the South Islanders can keep breeding them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 They are eating bloodworms and crushed flakes. Would sterbai catfish be alright? I already have some of them in another tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carla Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 As far as I know sterbai like quite warm water, that is why I would recommend paleatus or bronze cories, both of which can stand quite cool (down to 18 degrees). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 i might try the sterbais.as the tank is currently at 23°C and just looked at a couple of pages on the net and it says they like 22-26°C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilson Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 when you can see the anal fins well you should be able to tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 They are live bearers so have the same modified anal fins as guppies and platies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
