Very handsome Rainbow you got there I wish someone knew how big these guys really get. Everyone has a different answer. LOL. But I see he looks significantly bigger than your Bolivian there and thats how big I was told they get originally.

I understand what you are talking about. I go by 6 inches for them myself, reason being, mine is just about 6 inches. My bolivians are 3.5 inches, the males anyways. The females are 2.75-3 inches.

WOW yours is that big? Ive never seen one that big. LOL. So do you think that my 20G is big enough to house my pair?

20G is not big enough. A 29G would be better. With a 20G long, you could get by for a little while, but would recommend a little bigger. They do get very stressed in smaller areas.

Nice pics!
You sure have a ... different way of taking pics. They always look like there is alot of black in them...Does that even make sence??

 

[Lonewolfblue]

Not 100% sure on what you mean, lol. Do you mean the pics are darker? The pics are usually even darker, and when I enhance them in Photoshop, it brightens them up some. I don't like really bright pics, when I take brighter pics with the camera, they don't turn out near as good.

Alright so Ive gotta set up the 55G too.....hmmmmm (ideas rolling, staring own thread)

I'm most definatly not saying that they are bad pictures, just commenting on the different style of photography.
It could well be that I'm seeing lots of algae in the background, or poo or something that makes the pictures look that way. I really cant even explain it in my own head

The housing thing really depends on their size.
The trio (M,F,F) I got from FishGeek are much smaller than yours, LWB. I'd say the male is maybe pushing around the 3" mark, and the females are probably more like 2.5" (total length) each. At that size, a 20 gal. would do just fine for a breeding pair. Mine still remain quite skittish even in the 38 gal. planted tank though...not sure what that's all about. Perhaps that's just their nature.

How long have you had your Rainbow Lonewolf?? Im wondering if they are really slow growers....hmmm
