    Sexing is very difficult (for me anyway) usually the males are more aggresive. Even they sometimes stuff up, have had 2 females laying eggs together.

    Oh dear Nev,

    I hope you never paid too much for these fish. They are way too young to be able to tell what they are really, and to be honest, you have your work cut out to get them to maturity.

    Pic 1 is a Blue Diamond, but a very low standard fish which is badly stunted. It is showing very poor colour, looks stressed and is in very poor condition. The fins are in tatters, so this fish needs some real attention.
    Pic 2 is a mix of fish, a bit of turq, bit of leopard, not a distinct fish. A better shape than fish 1, but looks like it has stringy pooh, so this fish also needs lots of tlc.
    Pic 3 is a Pigeon Blood. Again badly stunted, very bad shape and peppery.

    Sorry for being striaght to the point, but best not to pussy foot about so you know you have your work cut out to improve these fishes lives.

    Why me ?
