    Sorry to hear about Sixxie

    I think Sixxie might have been a girl!


    That looks like an egg spot to me! Some girlies are really aggressive.. I had one that acted and even looked like a boy, but I realized he was a she after I saw her bar up and saw the egg spot. If you were to try a community tank with females, I would probably choose something different from guppies.. they've got those nice flowy fins that might be tempting to a betta. The only time I've ever been successful with a female community tank was after I had about 8 or 9 in a tank.. any less and it was total chaos. Girlies are so hard to deal with

    Sixxie was sold to me as a girl, lol, but I thought because the fish had grown so much that it must have been a boy. I guess she was a she! I miss her so much.

    Thank you. I just feel like it was my fault. I really was attached to her. I know it sounds dumb because it was a fish, and you can't do much with your fish, but she was very unique. She was different than all the other fish I've had before. Shy, but oh so happy when you fed her lol. She was just so cool for a fish. It's weird too because since she's been gone I think Flash is more of a ham for attention. He keeps jumping out of the water every time I walk near his bowl to get my attention, then when I come to him he'll just sit there and stare at me until I feed him. Then after he's fed he gets all happy and swims all over the place lol.

    I don't know, I've just always really liked fish. I should post pics of the cichlid I just rescued. I'm already so attached to him. I wasn't going to keep him at first, but in the short week he's been here I've already grown to love him. It's so cool because when I give him his Hikari pellets you can hear him chewing!!! LOL. It's the coolest thing ever!!!

    Anyone have any name suggestions for my cichlid? He's huge, and blue and green in color, with a red outline on his fins. He looks pearlish in the light, and sort of glimmers. He's very pretty. I've looked online to try to figure out what kind of cichlid (I think that's what he is) he is, but I can't find any that look similar to him.

    I'm so sorry about Sixxie; how sad about her passing. I got a 'bottom feeder' for my tank, and although he didn't bite my betta's fins, he sort of chased him around, so I took him back to the store where I got him. I was afraid that he was stressing Percy out and I don't want anything to happen to him.

    I also tried some snails, but have had no luck with them. For some reason they all die within a few days.
