Looking good! The argentea is definitely looking male.

How's the Sal working out? Out and about or shy? I have plans to swap my stock up a bit in the near future and was considering adding a female.

My Salvini is a bit shy. It was on the shy side in the LFS.
Around feeding time everybody is out and about. The only fish I might take back would be the chocolate. The Nicaraguan is a bit of a pain over territory and bugs him from time to time.

My change of the tank helped territory disputes a lot.

The Argentea is looking about 7" body and 1-1.5" wide with fins and all maybe 8" long now. Hes super passive though, just has high conspecific aggression. He wasn't fond of the true Parrot at first, but now they can swim by each other and be fine.
