Questions on the Cryptoheros species

i dont know anything about either, sorry but i am looking forward to these yellow cons!

I have a pair of myrnae and a group of 4 nanos (2 are pairing off and acting like a pair, but no babies yet).

They're both much milder than convicts - act more like spilurum or cutteri.

The nanos get a brilliant yellow when they're in breeding dress. Neat fish both.

I have both in 40g breeders with goodeids as dithers.

nanoluteus are awesome little fish...they'll grow to about 4" max and aren't nearly as aggressive as regular cons. I've seen people breed them and keep them pretty much for life in a 20 gallon. I have had virtually no luck with the species though. I finally was able to get myself a breeding pair so I removed the extras out of the tank and next day the female was dead. I've lost more nanoluteus with no explicable reason. I'd keep them as stress free as possible with plenty of space and a couple of different hiding places and they should be ok.

Some have found the nanos to be tough to raise/keep alive. Hope your luck is better.

Nanos have amazing colors, first time I saw a full grown pair, thought they were HRPs lol.

Both species are great little fish.

Not to jinx myself, but all of them have been no problem in terms of keeping them.

The female myrnae completely change color when breeding.
