What to do now?

[MacZ]

Thanks for the condolences!

I cam home with what is hopefully a pair an hour ago. One hour of drip to go.

What is this plant on the left? Some species of Nymphaea?

Classic Nymphea lotus, the Tiger Lotus.

And here we go. One is surely a male, the other... I hope it just has a ripped caudal. The only definitely sexed female was not in good shape. Rather getting some more at another time.

Crossing fingers.

I'm throwing up - Two males... *facepalm* They'll have to be separated by January. Should be fine for the time being, though.

Nooo… sorry to hear.

Happens... young enough to be no thread to each other for a few months.

I'm kinda torn.


This might be the money shot. The caudal has a completely rounded edge.

Well, well, well...
The female is indeed a female. And she want's to spawn. But the male is obviously too small and too young. So she is pushing him in the back corner. Going to report back, planning to separate them right now.

 

[rasmusW]

That’s great. I hope it works out for you/them.

I'll just be happy if they don't kill each other.

And another update:

Beautiful tank.
Those nymphea leaves are huge…

What species of nymphea; some of those lililies will fill a pond.

 

[MacZ]

I got them as Nymphaea lotus. And I'd say it fits.
