    Seems to be getting on very well. What is the aggression like? Looks pretty mild to me from the video.

    The first fish is a female, and the second a male?

    Aggression mild.

    Yeah, first should be a matured female and second a male.

    So far so good. All is doing well. From the looks of things, I speculate that I should have 2 matured female, 1 adult female, 3 adult male.

    Any idea as to how big they'll grow?

    They seem to be rather small, reported size is around 4 to 5 cm SL, but there are still questions if they will grow some more. At that size, they can be bred already.

    The colours are developing really nicely. Nice edges and markings on their fins too!

    Notice any pattern or colour changes every now and then, like how Badis badis does?

    At times the male will show lots of black markings especially on the dorsal such that it's no longer just a black blotch but a continuous black trimming from tip to end.

    Pattern change will vary with the intensity of the black.

    No colour change though. Male in their usual red dress and female in a dull colour mode. Maybe if they spawn, will probably see some differences.

    Wilson! Lovely yawning shot!

    Is this what you are refering to?


    Mine decide to develop stripes and it doesn't have the black rim around the caudal fin.

    Yeah CK Yeo.

    Oh my god. That's an awesome shot. Probably the best Badis sp. "Buxar" shot on the WWW.

    Any news of spawning?

    The other one, which I have no idea whether it is male or female looks like this when it is frighten (most of the time). It is tiny in comparison.


    Not bad for a fish that looks like this when I got it.

    CK, the colour looks rather dull when in normal mode, so likely it is a female. So you've probably got a potential pair.

    Spawning? I will be glad if they stay alive.

    Actually, I was taking pictures of the inhabitants of the tank beside this. Then suddenly an unfamiliar red thing with black chin pop up on the front glass. I was almost sure it was flaring at me. The power of tubifex.

    Thanks alot trident.

    I've changed their diet since they did not have a liking towards frozen mysis shrimp. I decided to try frozen blood worms. And good news, they are loving it. Also feeding them with live bbs but the quantity that I've hatched were inadequate.

    Decided to throw into a tank with some plants and darker substrate. The base colour of the fish changed


    This fish is quite a chameleon.
    Let's see how it develops.

    Tried provoking it with a mirror. Although it did turned a darker shade, colours are a bit drab. Maybe feeding will help... hmm.

    great flare!
