Gourami,
I knew that they had a red streak under their mouths, and ALL the fish in the tank had that red streak. These two lost that red streak within a day of coming home, which was what first made me suspicious. Upon going back I was able to see the mouth structure differences among the fish in the "firemouth" tank. The fish in that tank continue to look similar except for that mouth. The JD's are also more colorful than the firemouth's, but the basic coloration in the tank appears really similar. I think they are trying to "match each other" in the tank.
At least I don't have to worry about the Green Terror, he did not make it. I think he hid too well and never ate. No signs of him being beat up or anything. It took me days to find him, but I was able to pull him out.
I think I am going to give the JD's back, but I like their personality. Is there anything that is less aggressive that has a similar personality?
