Re: Nanacara question

hi bonni,
mine were already ~1 inch after a month and i could already see some
differences. Now, when they'll be a little bigger it is even more obvious. I
think it was easier for me tsince they were by their own in a growth tank at
that point and were showing already some attitude! Amasingly females were
protecting the food i was giving them (worms, artemias..) showing there
spawning colors and fighting! Males were more quiete but with mmore color
(green, blue, yellow) and already longer fins. They are F1 by the way.
take care
