Thanks for sharing, Zach. You have some great photos of a nice fish. I didn't realize they were so colorful.

What kind of set up are you keeping them in? Any signs of breeding behavior or are they still too young?

 

[TMSB805]

Thanks...They're in a 300g with a few other CAs. Here's the breakdown

M Lyonsi 7-8"
F Lyonsi 6"
M Cutteri 4.5"
F Cutteri 4"
2M 1F Pasiones 5"
1 Chuco Micropthalmus 3.5"

I believe they're still young for any spawning activity

Very nice. Sounds like they have plenty of room to grow. Keep us posted of their progress.

Looking good - would be great to see them spawn!

One I've not yet kept. What is their behavior like?

Thank you Sir.

Yeah they have plenty of space. I try to keep my stock at a manageable number allowing everyone to stretch out and relax.

They flare up amongst one another from time to time but nothing too serious. Im really looking forward to growing these guys out and hopefully getting a spawning pair.

Any noticeable differences between the sexes?

Any noticeable differences between the sexes?

From what i've read and been told, there isn't any difference other than males get larger.

Pretty pictures

Let me guess - they get huge and venegeful. Really look nice though...
