Fish Folk Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 This morning, I boxed all my Okefenokee Pygmy Sunfish, making their 20 gal tall cool-water tank available. Now, at work, my Florida Flagfish have been terrorizing my Rainbow Shiners, preventing them from spawning. So! I caught the Flagfish... And brought them home to their new room... Beforehand, I changed water in my Rainbow Shiner tank... And enjoyed seeing them happy again... And I did check the “Java box” for Flagfish fry, but nothing visible... So! Flaggies have a love suite... Shiners have freedom to fire up again... and here’s to hoping the Okefenokee Pygmy Sunfish live happily ever after! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard females are calmer, and can be helpful with eating algae. If you see them for sale, the female has a black dot on the back bottom edge of her dorsal fin. Male does not. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
