Andinoacara Rivulatus 'White Saum'

[Lgw]

I've spent all morning rearranging the garage which meant moving the fish tank.



Just got to hang the light and clean up, then the man cave is ready to roll

..And yes there is room for tank/s underneath

I like your stand. Did you buy it or make it yourself?

By the way, is it just me or is the fish selection fairly good in Brisbane? I grew up in Sydney, but lived in Brisbane for 3 years from 2006. Back in Sydney now and I find that for both saltwater and fresh water, the selection is fairly slim in most LFS's. I always seemed to find good variety right across Brisbane though, when I was there.

Thanks, I had it made for other tanks which are now long gone. I suppose there is a decent variety here, but half of it will cost you an arm and a leg.

So is this white saum different to an "Andinoacara stalsbergi" ?

Yep, here's a Stalsbergi. See how the scales on the body are green/blue on black, where as the scales on a rivulatus are black on green/blue! If that makes sense lol



I do not own the above fish nor the photo.

I can see why this would be called a green terror because it actually looks green not like your white saum then. I have recently bought a white saum its about 7-8cm I just have to work out its sex, I am guessing female or is it too early to tell?

I'm sure someone on here will know, I'm not real good at sexing them at a young age lol.

Its not that big a deal. I will know if it decides to breed because it is in a tank with a male blue acara and I am sure they will give it a go if its a female lol.

I'm thinking about rehoming the bristlenose or at least one of them. The amount of poop these little buggers produce is amazing. I'm doing 2x 30% water changes a week with vacuuming and still can't keep the sand clean lol.
