Hi Meg, sounds like your fish is showing his colors possibly indicating he's a male. They are schooling fish and i would recommend that you get several more of them. I have seen them at A Place for Pets in Burien (you can get a club discount with your card). They may even spawn for you if you have lots of surface plants for the eggs and fry to hide in. Water lettuce and water sprite would be good. dave _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390706/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member
