http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=4756
A perennial breeder (Ref. 27139), both in fresh and brackish waters, particularly from November to March (Ref. 7020). http://www.fishbase.org/Reproduction/FishR...;StockCode=4980 as for sexing it is often a bit hit and miss but bmales are more colourful, and should have a longer pair of pelvic fins that end in a sharp tip. Same with the dorsal fin, which should be pointed at the end. HTH |

open an account at photobucket.com (it's free) after you register upload your pics to your library then copy and paste the bottom .img file back into the forum thread.
Regards BigC Incidentally Aplo. panchax are easy to sex, providing they are sexually mature. Aplo. lineatus are the difficult ones. This post has been edited by BigC: Jul 15 2007, 01:14 PM |

Not sure about the "brackish" water advise, I've kept the golden wonders in fresh and also had eggs and raised fry in fresh water.
