New Girlies

[lilfishie]

i brought 4 new girlies to go in my community tank with a few tetras and 2 BN plecs, no problems so far i think they are still quite young as they are only just starting to get there colour, but i am hoping they are female not male as i do not have the space to house more than 1 male, 1 has started to turn a little aggressive, so if she continues this should i seperate her for a while or just let them sort out who is boss? will try get some piccies on soon

How aggressive is she being? Is she damaging the other fish?
Be good to see pics that will help us see if it is a male.

no just a bit of flaring, her fins are slightly larger than the other 3s but she is the largest, will try get a decent picture of her

 

[catherine896]

If its just flaring Id leave her for now, she is probably just trying to make herself the leader lol! Keep an eye on them and see if she starts attacking any of the others just incase!

she goes a really deep red/blue when she does it but anyother time i can't telll them apart because they are near colourless, will keep a close eye on her

Its hard to tell from the pictures but the one I put below here looks like she might be a delta, I can tell you 100% for sure with some clearer pictures

thanks for the reply Jaded, do you htink they will colour up more, one seems to have darked to a deep purple/blue with bit of red in the fins since taking the pictures and one no longer has a horizontal strips, and i cannot believe how small they are there not even an inch long (biggest may just be), i am attached to them already not even had them a day yet
