Quick picture of the lapidifer you can see the blue line under his eye starting to show up. for some reason the picture is washed out on a computer compared to an iphone or ipod maybe because I took the photo with an Ipad ImageUploadedByMonsterAquariaNetwork1378851952.146211.jpg

Yeah sorry had them in a 20 and wanted to wait till they got rehomed to take some shots of them. Any idea on how to sex them? I think my two bigger guys are a pair but, not sure.

heres some pics of the xinguensis. you cant see in the picture but its getting orange dots on its anal fin which is exciting that some color is starting to show up. also the lapidifer looks to be getting a red tint on its upper caudal fin Oct. 17 2013 (1).JPGOct. 17 2013 (2).JPG

Sweet. I just bought three wild lapidifers. They arrived today. Unfortunately, one didn't make it, but the other two seem to be doing well. They ate spirulina brine shrimp and blood worms for their first meal. :)

Any advice on keeping them? They 1.5-2" and are in a 20 high with 4 very small geo red heads and 7 small notatus severums temporarily. They will get their own 20 long in a couple weeks. I don't have a power head just yet to give them a current, but the tank is running on 2 sponge filters, so its plenty oxygenated.

I have read they are difficult to transition to pellets. What do you feed yours?
