    corydoras pygmaeus in my female ivanacara adoketa's mouth

    After a few days, the fish was disolved more, and only the skeleton was left, and I was able to get everything out. She's swimming happily ever after again :) At first the bond was damaged between the 2, but now it's looking great again. And hoping to see some eggs soon!

    corydoras pygmaeus in my female ivanacara adoketa's mouth

    how to sex young fish from regani complex

    Hi Mike, Yes i do realize, but I was wondering if the black markings on the dorsal finn change or not.

    how to sex young fish from regani complex

    should I trust the black spots and space between the black spots on the bottom of the dorsal finn more than the blacks on the pelvic fin and first spines of the dorsal fin? All my females have 3 non black spaces on the dorsal finn while all my males have more non black spaces in between the...

    how to sex young fish from regani complex

    Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply! They indeed show differences. I can see that most of the fish have a thick black border in their pelvic fins, a lot more than even my adult males have. So i'm quite sure these are females. They also show more black in the first 3 spines of their dorsal fin. Also...
