A pair of Betta channoides.

http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo13/sharpfish/thanksgiving07046.jpg

Wally - what size are the channoides? Did you acquire them from Anubias Design?

Sharpfish

02-10-2009, 01:46 PM

No, I got them off of Aquabid.com from Ted Judy. They were almost 2" when the picture was taken. The reverse trio I bought spawned after this picture. I no have 3 males and 2 females. I figured I would live the spawn in the tank with the adults. That was a bad move out of the 20+ fry all that survived was the extra pair. Live and learn.

Has everyone become shy?
Lets see pictures of your fish.
Again, a pair or group...and this can include fry/juvies with their parents.

Oh boy! Two gay exochromis anypenis. LOL!
Lol... Actually the bottom one was wrongly sexed as a female. After that big male died the smaller one began to turn blue and I finally realized why they never bred... That bottom male is actually the one I am selling now too.

AlishanAS

02-14-2009, 06:40 AM

Lol... Actually the bottom one was wrongly sexed as a female.

Same thing happened to Joe Jaskot when he was born. I heard he has a body part that turns blue also.
