Hey everyone. So a little background information about this fish. I originally bought 2 from Rachel aka Msjinkzd. They both did good sadly though I accidently sucked the female out during a WC and didn't realize it till it was to late. Well I hit up Rachel and being such a great pal she sent me two females. One female sadly was DOA and the other lasted a week then died. Refused to eat. So she once again sent more. 2 Females and 1 Male. They arrived in good shape and were eating good. Everything was looking up. Then I find my new male a couple days later dead with some small injuries all over. Then one female died from the same injuries a day later. The last female looked fine. He left her alone. Then I guess he got tired of her and beat her up a bit so I removed her but she refused to eat and died. So I have only a single male in a 20 gallon high aquarium.
He shares the tank with Black Bar Endlers which have been breeding more and more. I got 3 platty's which don't seem to wanna breed (1m2f). I also have 2 ummmm marble hatchets. Not sure how the others died. For awhile It was hard to see all the fish at once due to the floating plants and leaf litter which I now have down to a minimum. The other inhabitants are 3 Cajun Crayfish and I believe its like 4 or 5 Cherry Shrimp oh also a full grown Blue Eyed BN Pleco and two baby Pterygoplichthys weberi pleco's. So yeah a completely stocked tank. Over stocked actually luckily there not messy fish since the pleco's aren't big yet.
Well the male was tiny when I got it. Not sure how Rachel knew it was a male at such a small size. She must have eyes like a hawk. Hawk Eye Rachel lol. Anyways here are some pictures I got of it when I first aquired them and of pics earlier this month along with a few from today.
Hope you guys enjoy the pictures.
