nudge Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The head shape looks wrong to the ethels kinda look like they have a beak and have really big yellow egg spots on the anal fin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nudge Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hows the tank going? Everyone gettin along, any updated photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWER77 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Everything's going good so far. As you'd expect a couple fish being more dominant than the rest (pink dragons blood and Lwanda) but nothing serious. The group of dems looks really good in there and they keep to themselves. Recent additions are a juvie Polystigma, cobalt blue and coral red. Happy with the current mix and setup just want to add abit more colour still. Also am going to get rid of the two Eheim 2012 internals and the Aqua One 1200 and just run a FX5 but that will be a few weeks away. New coral red on the right. Two Black Calvus, just picked up today. Hoping the first is male and second female. May add in when they get abit bigger. Having to control myself from adding more of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likoma Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nice fish Sam, Is the coral red the same as the firefish? Im always left confused with the common names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudge Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Looking good mate. Will look even better when you take out the internal filters. Nice looking dems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POWER77 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Nice fish Sam, Is the coral red the same as the firefish? Im always left confused with the common names. Cheers Greg, not too sure. Those names are just what I got them as. The two I have are definitely different as the coral has more white to it and the dragons blood is slightly darker with a brighter face. Both awesome fish, they really stand out against the blues of the others (am going to add another at some stage). It does look similar to the fire fish on the net but I guess time will tell as they still have a bit of growing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Nice looking tank mate. Thought I will clear some of the confusion. Firefish/Pink Dragon blood - They look pink in colour and have a blue/silver shine to them. Females are white. Orange dragon blood some also refer to this as firefish - same as pink but orange. Females are orange. Coral Red - More of a solid colour compared to the other when they are older. They look like albino Ruby red without the red eyes. Females are yellow.

POWER77 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 bit off topic but hows the tank going? Tanks going great, much better than I ever expected. I think the key has been the number of fish and that there are no fish that are bigger than all the others. At the moment there is not one that sticks out as the "boss" and all seem to be very chilled. I did have issues with the largest Dragonsblood, I think because he was one of the original fish in there and had already long setup camp when about 30 others arrived. But took him out for three weeks and since hes gone back in has been fine. The only concern now is my Lemon Jake looks like hes getting a hard time. But no matter how long I sit and watch no one seems to be chasing or being aggressive towards him at all its more like he sits still mid water and all others swim around completely ignoring him. I will try post an update with current stock list and pictures this weekend... weather dependent of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
