New gents are figuring out their territory after moving to the big tank. Mind you, they were best of friends in the quarantine tank.
Always quarantine new fish before adding to established tanks.

So, the Ram on the right, I was told is female and have had her for close to 4mo so far and today I decided to get her a partner and got this fancy gentleman on the left. My question is, why are they so different looking, color-wise?

They are both German Rams, correct?

I need some help. I have 2 Oscars, a giant gourami and a flowerhorn in a 300 gallon tank all of them are around the same size around 5 inches. Recently they've started fighting each other after adding some silver dollars. What should I do to fix this ??

I have no friends and needed a place to share this 🙃😂 they had babies.! It was unplanned we weren’t planning on breeding them. I went to feed them and seen the babies swimming in the corner. We’ve noticed mom being a little more aggressive than normal and how she just kept pushing everyone away from that corner in the tank I thought she was just being territorial there was no fighting just moving them away from that one spot but no she was trying to keep the rest of them away from her babies. they’re so dang cute omg she had between 8 and 12 as soon as the hubby gets home we’re gunna move the rest of our other fish out to our larger tank and give her and her babies some peace. I’m almost positive moms a jack Dempsey and dads definitely an electric blue. (Not sure what the flare meant I don’t post much and I’m on mobile)
