dwarf lionfish tank?

BTW do you think that T5 Light 48" Aquarium Freshwater Plant 108W HO 2x 6700K - eBay (item 290437883270 end time Jun-21-10 06:22:22 PDT) these lights would be ok for just the macro, not corals?

 

I've never owned a 6700k bulb so I'm not sure what that colour will be like.

I have regular PC, halides, LEDs and T5s... all of them grow macro.

 

6700 is ideal for growth ive heard. anything close to 6500K is. its just a really White light. the fixture is prob not very good for 50 bucks but i only need it for macro algae. ill post on the lighting board right now to see what they say.

 

Oh, it will grow macro just fine. I just wasn't sure that colour bulb would be pleasing to the eye.

 

yea it comes with those bulbs, if i decide i dont like them, then a blue one cant cost more than 20 bucks right?

 

I'm working on those pictures.... she's not co-operating.

 

hahaha, darn computers.

 

The fish isn't co-operating.... the female is hiding.

 

oh i see. hopefully she'll cooperate soon. good luck and thanks.

 

Thanks for getting me to to try and get a picture of the dwarf for sex comparison. I snuck on HER when she just woke up so that her pectoral fins were still pinned to her side. She's always begging, so I never get to see her with her fins down. They've looked awful flowy lately and we thought she was a male. Well, we were right in the first place... it's a she. Most excellent.

Okay, one way to tell the males and females apart is by the length of the pectoral fin in relation to the caudal peduncle.

In a female it is shorter than the caudal peduncle area... if it is longer, it's a male.

This one is shorter... so it's a female.
