I agree with Sean..Xbox...much better + you can purchase latest games for 10€ in Serbia, or Croatia...

For PS3 you cannot...

hey guys.. i just bought 7 occies that are in their own tank and just want to clarify the 'pairing up' everyone talks about. What kind of behaviour means they've 'paired up' is it just a tollerance between the two? i.e. i have 2 sets of occies that are in shells just a shells' distance from eachother that seem to leave eachother alone.. would they be considered to be paired? What's the behaviour you generally see when they're considered to be paired up? thanks!

If you just got them, I would let them settle down first and then look for any signs of spawning. Occies are also harem spawners so a male can have more then 1 female as his mate.

Need help sexing guys- you seem to be pretty good at it!! I have a bright, large colourful one, which is pictured on its own near the sand. The other two are very closely situated and often the one at the back puts all its fins out and hovers/ glides over to the one near the front. Then they both just kind of float with their fins out, doing nothing. Then it swims away again and they both relax. Any ideas?? I wouldnt base it on the whiteness of the fins either, apparently their parent's both had white tips. The last pic after the pair is of the same fish in the paired shot, the one at the back.

im wondering if the two in the paired shot are both female. The first one i took a pic of is a lot deeper bodied and seem to have what can only be described as a fat head Tongue

do you think the 2 in the same photo are both females then? They kindof look the same, though one is more aggressive/ assertive than the other.
