Great pics mick. How can you tell they're males?

mickthefish · Post by **mickthefish** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 7:19 pm

by the length of their snouts, females have a shorter head length than males.

Me complain Ash, Never. haha
but to be honest i still like the old camera better, but my sons got that one now.
it'll do for the short term though, still thinking about the SLR.

I know the feeling, I have tried out another camera of my friends and it just isnt the same as the one I have. One becomes to accustomed to things a little bit to much!

On another note, once I move my clowns Il be moving the corydora to their old tank so good chance to get pics-Il need you to id a few (please

) so I can see if Neil can get some in for bigger groups

New tank should be arriving on Thursday night, meaning I start working on it this weekend

! Not to far away either which is nice for once, all being well it should be setup and running after Easter meaning corydora and smaller botia have a 112g all to themselves

Maybe I could steal some of your kubs to put in aswell

Do you see much fighting between the larger males you have?

Nice one Ash, no the big kubs have never had a fight since i've had them, they seem to know not to have a tangle.
the histi's are at it most of the time but the worst for damage has got to be the darios.

Cant say I have seen my histies being 'pushy' so far and they are about 3 inches.... maybe a bit small yet. My striata on the other hand, I dont know what has got into them-they are being pretty tough on one another for the past few weeks.

Thinking Il get some of the kubs when Im next in Neils, judging by this big lad, they are to nice a fish to turn down
