The Official Rio Doce Kelberi Grow Out Thread!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks man! The one that's showing stress signs freaked out so bad while scrubbing the glass it got wedged in between the pump and glass and dint realize it was stuck for a min but everything turned out ok luckily

I lost one of mine last night due to aggression. They pretty much de-scaled it and took off all of his fins and his tail. My grow out is starting to get a little too small for them.

Danm man that sucks so bad!! Sorry to hear that bro, I still can't figure out which one of mine is the Orino lol but how big is your grow out? Nowe I'm scared for my group lol better get the next tank ready for them ASAP
 
Pretty sure your Orino is bottom middle in first pic of your update pics. I picked up 4 of the rio cusiana from Rapps.

My grow out is a 60 gallon sump. I did some moving around of my fish last night so we shall see if this will give them a growth spurt. I don't want to loose anymore then I already have. They seem to all be getting along in the 180.

The Orino might be the one with the bold stripe. That's the only one that looks different to me.

The kels have a more pointer face. How about the yellow spotting in the tail, any difference there? Mine have about 4 yellow spots around what's going to become the tail ocellate.

Since I moved these kels to the bigger tank they aren't aggressive anymore.
