Looks really good! nice and simple.

Do your research on P.Bass as they tend to become very expensive when they get to a decent size

how do you sex P bass?? My biggest one is about 1cm bigger then the other one

[Bowdy]

How are the bass goin mate.

[fish]

Excellent, they are about 7-8cm now, haven't done much with the tank though. Is that normal grow speed, or should they be growing faster then that??

[Bowdy]

How big were they when you got them.

[fish]

5 1/2 - 6cm

[ruffaz]

wait till they are bigger before you try and sex them mate if they are little they will get stresed to much from handling,but sexing them is the same as most cichlids look at there bum hole two similar sized holes female everything elses is male

[fish]

Thanks, isnt female 0o and male oo??

[choombies]

You are right fish.
ruffaz got them the wrong way around!!

[ruffaz]

yea sorry guys my dyslexia kicking in again there is a lot of diddrence in my experance when it comes to sexing cichlids you cant always use the above formular any ways as some fish are diffrent however in cichla especialy monos o0 is mostly female and 00 or o> is male some times the male organ is exposed a little you should also notice a small hump starting to grow when sexual maturity kickes in.in the males

Tank updated. Added a few more plants, added another piece of drift wood and moved it all around a bit
