    Cryptoheros myrnae - Anyone kept them?

    Jeff currently has them on his list for the pre-order and I'm considering if I should get a pair. They are on the C.A.R.E.S. list and I'm trying to stock mostly C.A.R.E.S. fish to breed. Let me know if anyone has had any experience with these guys. Thanks in advanced.

    Cryptoheros Nanoluteus

    I purchased a breeding pair. I have them in a very overfiltered 40B. the tank has wood, rocks, and black sand. I am wondering if there are any special instructions for keeping this fish. Can I put a couple of Sajicas in with them or am I asking for trouble? Current?

    BAP spawn Cryptoheros coatepeque

    I had put an extra pair of these Convicts into a temporary tank since they were getting beaten up by another pair of Coatepeques in my 45. While in their temporary tank, they spawned. I've been having fun watching them take care of their fry, which always seem to have full little bellies...
