Got My New Fish

[Auratus]

Only one picture of the Imbellis so far, they are very shy. This is the female

The Licorice gourami

Male

They are coloring up nicely and out and about exploring. One female is literally 3 pieces of paper thick and like 1/4 of an inch. None have eaten yet but I'm still trying. Everyone told me how fragile they are, especially wild caught. They seem to be doing well so far... only time will tell *fingers crossed*

Those gouramis are absolutely darling. Nice imbellis butt,too But the gouramis, man oh man,how adorable,especially in that second/third pic.

GOD I love licorice gouramis. I want some every time I see pics of them!

Beautiful fish, congrats!

What are you feeding the gouramis?

 

[Bloo]

wow they are gorgeous !

 

[Auratus]

Thanks, I like them too

So far I've tried frozen Spirulina Brine and frozen Bloodworms. I have krill also but I don't know if I'm going to try that. I'm trying to get my mom to go pick up some live bloodworms today but I'm not sure if she will. If they still aren't eatting this weekend I'll go get some bbs and daphnia.

Where do you get your live blood worms at? A lfs or a bait shop?

 

[Auratus]

I get them at the lfs. An oz. is $1.50. I just talked to my mom and she got me some so hopefully that will stimulate them to eat

Most fish won't usually eat on the first day in the tank some people have said it has taken weeks for there fish to start eating.

 

[Angel Lady]

Wow those are stunning fish . THey really are pretty I want me some of them now really bad..

 

[Auratus]

I fed the live bloodworms last night and everyone ate! The Imbellis were chowing! I have more pics of the female on my computer at home, I'll post them tonight.

 

[Wisperian]

aw...how cute =D somehow..my licorice gouramis disappeared =S

 

[Auratus]

Well... I had pictures of the female, then they did this. So now I have pics of both of them

Thats cool maybe if the danios start munching on it you can move the leaf with the eggs on it to another tank that is empty unless somebody else thinks the parents need to do anything else to them. Where did you say you got them at?
