Amatitlania siquia

[Jexnell]

No good deeds go unpunished. Me trying to be nice caused chaos. Woke up this morning to a dead variegated Molly. Mr. Siquia has been a straight jerk since introduction of the female's. So action was taken. Bagged up the three girls and took them back. Grabbed six Plattys while I was there and another bag of Caribsea planted plus. Wasn't deep enough to hold the plants down, now it is. Well the Vals are all doing great. All five of them already have runners with baby plants sprouting.
This one has two of them already.
They beat up the male Molly, bite off the bottom fork of his tail and one of his pectoral fins.

Looking all innocent, I didn't do it...

I love how the manzanita branches just drop perfectly into the tank
Looks great

I'd recommend getting some wild mollies or something, only tank mates I've had success with with bagaces was poecilia salvatoris. Plain, grey, very active, always moving. If you can get some female wild type latipinna, or better yet catch some, those would work great. Steer clear of tetras.

Well.he is back to his calm self now. He don't even bother chasing the dithers. Just goes about nibbling on the plants and branches. Moving random pieces of substrate around. Let's hope it stays this way.

Found some sneaky snails that rode in on the plants.

So Mr. Siquia wouldn't stop being a jerk so took him back and got a pair of HRPs. These two were guarding a rock from all other fish in the tank at the Wetspot. So assuming they are a pair I got them both. They are right at 1in give or take.

Not listed on the site due to numbers I guess. Only one left after the two I got.
