Nice shot of the pair showing one thinner, the other rounder. BTW, thinner one has more of the blue/green coloring coming in


See if that helps any. As I said earlier...it doesn't look like anything is growing on the honeys...as a matter of fact, the coloring appeared to lighten up when I put them into specimen container after cleaning aquarium. I apologize for the pics being so large...still learning!

They look real good to me. i don"t see any problems at all. i check some of my books, as they get older they color up more. hand to tell from pictures if you got male or females. they what we called golden in color(at least where i am from), here in nova scotia. but they do look nice.

They look good to me to and i can't se any signs of problems.

I hope you don't mind that I scaled down the ictures a bit to make them easier to look at without having to scroll.

[kimmers318]

Thank you very much! I was just working on scaling down the pics thru photobucket...I thought I had them small enough but apparently not! I am glad neither of you could see any problems...makes me feel better. I always worry about my new fish, especially when I see color changes.

[DemonShark]

Wow they look very nice no problems here

[William]

Nice pictures by the way. Would love to se more.

Would you mind if I add them to the photo gallery?

[kimmers318]

I don't ever have a problem with sharing my pics! It makes me kinda proud as a matter of fact! If interested, I also have pics of my kribs spawning in a cave that is stuck on the side of the tank...and a few nice shots of my dwarf gourami's...this one I included is my absolute fav!

I couldn't have caught him in front of that red plant if I was trying!!!

BTW....how does one scale down a pic in a post??? I scaled it down on photobucket, but still coming up much larger!

[William]

I would love for you to post the krib and dwarf gourami pictures.

I use a Image editor to scale them down. You can send them to me in an email and I scale them down for you. admin[at]aquaticcommunity.com

[rollie]

if you do not mind , would i be able to use some of your pictures on my website? will say where they came from, blue drawf gourami, nice!!!

[kimmers318]

Feel free to use them rollie...but please send me your website link!

William...I used an image editor when I took the pics...adobe photoshop premier...I scaled them down to 4 X 6 but they sometimes still come out large! At least now I am learning to check them thru photobucket before posting and am getting better!

Thanks for all of the help. This forum so far has been the quickest most responsive one I have found!

I will post the krib and gourami pics in a new thread for you...keep your eye out...it may take me a few minutes!

hi i have a red honey gourami n he jus sits at the bottom of the tank not moving is tht the normal temerpermant of shud it be swimming, i has just died my water reading is fine could it be stress as i put the in 2 hours ago.

[kimmers318]

When I first got my honeys they stayed hidden, but in the upper region of the tank. Now I see them out and about all of the time, but still usually in the mid to upper region. I will see them on the bottom sometimes running around with my clown loaches, but they do like to sit around alot.

[rollie]

it could be stress, since you just put him in. you should always add stress coat to the tank, when you add new fish!!! i do!!

[richie_g]

okay, cheers guys

[kimmers318]

Same here, I also use stress coat to dechlorinate my tap water.
