Updated Video of my Community 55g tank.

[capekate]

This is a video that I shot today of the community tank. The two discus are a little more than a year old, and the Angel is 16 months old. The largest A. Rainbow is about a year old as is the little one with scoliosis of the spine. The others are newer fish in the last six months. If Dino or CWC stops by they can see how big the two Cutteri are that I got from them.They are doing great. Now Im trying to determine the gender of the smaller Cutteri who shows up at the bottom of the tank(in the video) now and then. My striped Raphael Catfish spends his days under the large driftwood, so I really never to get any photos of him.
What do you think of my tank?

That's a VERY BEAUTIFUL tank setup, Kate.

Dino and I collaborated and agree that those are both male cutteri, more than likely. Notice all the gold coloration on this one? The gold and/or pink coloration on the belly is indicative of a female, but from the video we couldn't see coloration on either of the cutteri you have.

We have our cutteri outside in a trough over the summer, but if you would like a female just let us know and we will gladly get one to you.

Thanks CWC, Lucy and Jess!
CWC, thanks for letting me know that they are both males. I had a feeling that the smaller one was. It is getting big now and almost the same size as the other. Do all the adults have blue eyes! wow... the females sure are pretty. I would love to have a female and see if I can get them to pair off and hopefully some day be able to have fry. None of my fish have ever paired off, and I also try to get the same gender when I buy them. With the Discus and Angels, Im never sure so I most likely have same genders of those fish.
Please let me know how much a female would be and the shipping..

The tank looks great Kate and I LOVE your discus!

thank you Dave! Ricky Blue has come a long way hasn't he? He was so stunted. But daily morning feedings of blood worms, lunch: New Life Spectrum and evening meals of brine shrimp are doing wonders for him and the rest of the crew. I would love to get another Discus, but afraid of upsetting the balance that seems to be working now. Ive seen how the Discus can really pick on each other and with that finally settled.. I dont want to ruffle any feathers. or rather any fins! thanks for checking out my video!
