"just one more tank..."
Downsizing, What is that? Oh, just another way of saying I'm going to get rid of a species or two to make room for more species.
L. multifasciatus, L. gold occelatus, L. ornatippinnus, L. callipterus, L.calliurus, L. similis
In search of more L. signatus

MY pair spawned recently , however I have only been able to see 4 maybe 5 fry swimming around . I have flourite i as a substrate in that tank and it sure does make for great fry hidey spots, at least form my eyes.
I was wondering what a normal spawn would be ? Is it likely that more of them are still hiding out in the shell with Mom?
thanks
Tim

well these have really calmed down since they are now in a 20 long but i havent seen a whole lot of shell life so far they seem to stick to the sand and rocky areas.

i got big time aggression today but noone is hugging yet everyone still holding their ground.
the "monster" a big almost 3" fish rules the roost and will even hide under a rock ledge and over see his kingdom from above. then he will do dive bomb attacks on the others.
dont know how long they are gonna play nice together i hope long enough to get a pair but man they are having a chasing good time today.
gonna try to find some pics to see if i can sex them and separate them out. i dont want any deaths

well ive witnessed interesting behavior from these guys today and havent read about it anywhere so im gonna share it LOL.
i seem to have some that think they are multies without the need for shells.
what i believe are females are ruling the roost and they are digging pits.
i havent read about this behavior anywhere and figured ide share it with yall

I find that with my Dhonti's. They seem to dig near the shells and rocks lol. The female does it more often then the male.
