Australoheros Sp. "local"

[dogofwar]

Here are some pictures of my "local" chanchitos from Cañada El Local, Valentines, Uruguay.

They're hard to see but they're tending fry. The bigger one is the male.

I have two pairs and some extra ladies.

Nice fish Matt. If you wipe the glass down both inside and outside the tank it helps when taking pictures. If you can do it the day before or at least a couple hours before pictures it helps.

I have another species of chanchito, A. oblongum. I believe those are A. facetum. Mine are just a bit over half grown, males 3", females 2.5", will likely be mature enough to spawn soon. Peaceful critters generally, they will take down feeder fish quite quickly but don't bother the juvie BN's and L333's sharing the tank. Chanchito is Spanish for "little pig".

That's a nice fish.
