Was looking at the new Badis Badis I bought in the community tank and realise that there are some very red Cherry. So took a few picture to share.

What is badis badis?

**sheng** · 25th Apr 2006, 14:59

Badis badis is a small fish

Badis badis will go after the shrimp's eggs. My yamato shrimps got no peace in the tank with Badis badis. Badis badis keep attacking the shrimp eggs.

Are you keeping Badis badis or Dario dario? Badis can grow quite big (relative to shrimps) and take shrimps as supper... Darios get smaller BUT might still be interested in your shrimplets...

**kemp** · 25th Apr 2006, 15:33

wow! lush growth of your moss. And your cherries are really red!

**Quixotic** · 25th Apr 2006, 15:49

That's a Dario dario beneath the driftwood in picture 4, not Badis badis. Also, you do know that Dario dario absolutely takes live/frozen food only, yeah?

i wonder how they do the moss layout... they grow nicely on the first pic..

Your Cherry is very red...Mine is like the color fades off .

Thanks for all your compliments.

Thank Justikanz, I always though that is a badis badis as that was what I was told by LFS. No wonder when I mentioned I have badis badis in my shrimp tank, no one seem to believe, now I know why...

taygu, mind taking a wide shot of your tank? Would like to see your overall tank look with the lush growth of your moss. I'm sure it will look great

Richietay/Kemp, I did not realise that.. thanks, it was a nice coincidences..

Synthesia, I started of same as you, bought a few tens of cherry from C328 and initialise it just keep dying and I just keep adding, once it stablise, it will keep multiplying. They are very sensitive to heat, there is once I switch off the fan, at least 10 died in one day. So now, I keep the fan running 24 hours a day. As for the coloration, is the plants and mosses that done the job.
