Help Sex My Firemouths Please

Well I definitely would split them up in the long run (for the reasons verminator mentioned). But if your think the gouramis will be ok until the 6ft arrives then I'd definitely put either one or the other into the 6ft... if you like them then it's definitely worth giving them a go in a tank where they're actually likely to behave themselves! lol.

i definately like them, there colour is amazing although it doesnt look it in the photos, would they be ok in an aqua start 500 untill my 6ft arrives

 

[Curiosity101]

Hmm....I would avoid it if there is any other choice. But if there are no other fish in with them then it might be worth a go. Just be ready to move them back to the 180 if neccesary and make sure you move some mature media over with them.

And it'd definitely only be temporary...

 

[stephen.h89]

the aqua start is already setup, i used mature filter medium, and 80% of the water was from my clearseal tank so everything is mature in there and i will also put a branch in from my juwel vision, i always have a spare small tank setup just incase i need it , i do have a 33" 140ltr tank i could put them in but it would need cyclng as i closed it down last week

 

[Curiosity101]

All you'd need to do it move the mature filter over and it'd be good to go. Plus it's be a perfect long term home for them. Quite a nice size for them to raise some fry in aswell...

If you just add some of the media from a cycled filter and maybe a little bit of water it will be ready to go Straight away. 140lts would be great for them maybe with a few dithers like rainbow fish or a bigger type of barb.

 

[stephen.h89]

ok so when i get back from town i will setup the 140ltr, i will prob get 10-12 small rainbows or tetras while im in town so they r not alone...lol

 

[kizno1]

If you go for a tetra make sure its one of the deeper bodied tetra not the long thin ones or when the firemouths get bigger they might fancy them as a snack.

Big words for somebody who lacks basic grammar.

i dont see a single big word let alone multiple. also grammar and vocabulary are 2 different things

This is a friendly Forum, the OP has come asking for help and suggestions, and you are sitting back trolling and making unnecessary posts in broken English.

being facetious is not the same as trolling. perhaps if u spent more time on ur vocabulary instead of ur grammar u would know this

I suggest you go and read the Forum rules.

u should take ur own advice. u are not an authority on these forums. if u have a problem with a post there are multiple ways to address the issue. these include pming the user, using the report function, pming a moderator.

A simple browse of this user's post history shows he is not really here for any other reason than self amusement at the expense of others.

clutching at straws

ok these firemouths have killed my african dwarf frog so are now up for sale, open to offers really as i just want them gone.

 

[Verminator89]

Pity, beautifull fish to keep and hugely rewarding too.

Didnt realise you had them in with an african frog else i would have advised against it. Sorry to hear about the frog.

 

[stephen.h89]

woudl u be interested in them?

 

[Verminator89]

I would if i had somewhere to keep them, but i don't i'm afraid. I think adding them to my dempsey tank would be catastrophic, and my planted shrimp tank is no good for them, my hospital tank is well...a hospital tank. I think setting up a 4th tank is out of the question currently. Sorry, i can't help.

 

[stephen.h89]

thats fine ill offer them to lfs in exchange for some cardinals
