glad to see you liking it. if you ever get sick of the substrate just move it around. i always enjoyed ticking off my multies
. takes em a day to put it all back, and seemed to curb any aggression for a day or two (clearly they were busy digging)

Lol! Thank you for the tip. Haven't noticed any aggression yet. Still trying to determine sex of these little fish.Anthraxx said:glad to see you liking it. if you ever get sick of the substrate just move it around. i always enjoyed ticking off my multies
Re: Evolution of a nano 9.5 gallon long
size is really the only sure fire way ive found (or read about for that matter) its kinda why i always aim high and then let them kill each other off till it works. none of the shellies outside of brevis seem to "pair off" so its mostly aggression on males. if you could find a way to identify each fish and try to get some good profile shots i may be able to help. also something for size reference would be good. maybe set a ruler next to the tank rim idk. anything over an inch is most likely male tho, GL to ya!

Not completely sure of the age of the fish but was picked up as a mature colony. With that being said I more than likely have 5 males and 1 female. I'll try to get some individual snap shots.

So I got swimmers. My second spawning fish in my aquatic hobby history :cheers: .
I crushed up a quality pellet and flakes into a power. Little guy likes em. I have only located 1. I do not know how big Multies spawns are. And my guess is perhaps the others maybe hiding in other places or have been eatten, or may have starved because I didn't catch it earlier....?
There is NO way of catching spawn and moving them, LOL. Guess I'll hope for the best. The Multies have been digging so much they've created many little nooks and crannies for little ones to hide.
Any with experiance is more than welcome to jump in with insight. Advice is always appreciated .

That's a good idea! I could give that a try. But what I mean by nooks and crannys is shells in piles, tunnels under rocks. Little nooks 3 levels deep in shells. I have to pear into those little nooks to see the babies. I wouldn't be able to get to them with a baster and they would disappear into shells if I disturbed them. It's actually a really cool little community environment. I just don't want to disturb the shells right now. The fish definitely have territories and a pecking order.
Oh yeah I get what ya mean. Bare bottom tanks and a cloud of angel fry are a lot easier to get. Lol you should shoot a short video of the set up. I'd love to see it in action.

That's one thing I've never done. I'll have to figure out how to on the video thing. I do have an account with youtube but never downloaded anything.ShortyKiloGyrl said:
The fry is about the size of a grain of rice. Little bugger
I use Photobucket. You can set it to private and still have an imbeded link.
