Today was the 8 th day after the Melafix treatment fish looks to fattened up a little. However looks still very pale in color. While during the 25% water change I noticed red worms in the water and possibly one was attached to the fish. I'm wondering the paleness of the fish and the worms would mean...

Pictures aren't very good, but these are 2 inchers. I know they are difficult to sex but thought I'd give a try.

When the fish are at about 6 to7 cm wouldn't there be enough Odontode growth on the gills and pectoral fins to give some one a good educated guess? In pics 1 and 2 I thought I saw gill whiskers that touch the pectoral fins. Plus, the hair growth on the pectoral fins seems pretty thick to me. However...

Saul, The reason why I told you I am going else where is because you would not guarantee the next fish you send me are females. Am I suppose to pick a fish from the pics and your going to send that specific fish. You told me you had hundreds. Plus the pics you sent me were too hazy, for my novice ey...

Saul, Glad you could chime in. When I won your auction I had requested that you send me 1 m and 2 f and you told me you could eye ball them for me. Plus in your auction you did not specify that "Will not Guarantee Sexes". Now it was my fault for not checking on your expertise on sexing the...

Hi from Michigan.

Just pick up my first juvi L46 zebras 2F and 1F. They are absolutely beautiful fishes, just wish they weren't so shy, wife says I got a pet log. Had these guys for a week now. I'm getting a little concerned that they are not eating. I had them originally in my community tank and they hid behind the ...
