Shanoz Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks Mate, Love those little guys too and also a BIG fan of my Bullrout's.

bidkev Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Nice pictures mate and healthy looking fish. You've got a mix of texas there. The first pic appears to be escondido (true supergreen). the extra large spots and worming on the face indicate this. The 2nd picture, not true supergreen.......smaller spots and spots on face as opposed to worming. 1st fish male, 2nd fish female..............not 100% as males sometimes have it but the black in the dorsal on the 2nd would indicate likelihood of female............she will lose it later. Also, the first tex has a more concave slope from the head, and the 2nd has a more gradual slope. Also not a 100% indicator but when you put the two together, it's more reliable than one indicator. Not being snotty but..................if they breed, that'll be yet another false supergreen on the market kev Edited August 29, 2011 by bidkev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanoz Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks Kev, I do try to keep them as healty as possible by mixing up live food and pellets. As for the Texas's, these fish came from Lee & Rosie (Brizmale28), I really only wanted the SGT (glad you could confirm it as they weren't 100% sure either ) off them, but then for the extra 10 bucks they threw in the Female Texas, so I couldn't really pass it up considering they were trying to off load both! As for them breeding I hope it doesn't happen for exactly that reason, I really should try to find the male a nice female to stop this from happening. If they do breed, probably just leave the fry in there for food for that exact reason!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasman Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 yep, the other texas is a carpinti. Nice just the same. Love your american tank, lots of room and great mix. just a suggestion - maybe some driftwood or mangrove root would look nice inplace of a few rocks??

Shanoz Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I thought of DW Kasman, but the only problem is that being a 6'L x 18"W x 2'H tank, the holes in the top where the lids are don't give you much room to fit large pieces without cutting the wood and rejoining them. In my original build up, i was goin to get some from David Tullee and found this Amazing piece that he had but again too big to fit through any of the three holes in the top, even trying to get some nice big Mangrove Root still give's me this problem. So that's when i thought rocks it is, plus i had a great supply of them in my parent back yard as there is 100's and 1000's of them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanoz Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Btw if someone could help me sex my JD that would be great, also if you have any ideas on how to tell if they are a split gene too that would even better!!!

Shanoz Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks Donny, Btw how di you go with those LED lights from Peter? I am thinking of getting one for the 6fter, would you recommend them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFishFloating Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Mate from the ones I have seen setup I would certainly reccomend them, and have heard nothing but good reviews back from people who have grabbed them. But I am going to wait until I move before I add them to me fishroom. Besides, for now I am kinda enjoying the dank lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanoz Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks Donny, I'm gonna order one next week!! Lee & Rosie - Happy Days!!! Craigo - Girl hey?!?!?! So what makes you say that? I have been doin a bit of research on Google on how to tell, and from what i could find was that they were talking about the pearling under the eye and gill plates usually say it's a girl and a good chance it being a split gene especially with the line of pearls under the eye!! Well fingers crossed, might have to find a nice male to put into the tank then!! Thanks Mate!! Btw Do you know anyone with a nice one?!?!?!?!?! Relle - Thanks!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
