To be fair, when he said he wanted them they were 4.0-4.5" - my fish grow pretty fast, by the time we worked out spring breaks and vacations they were 6.0". My 14" male and 11" female were originally 12"/9" and they were $200 for the pair. If you think they're a pair, that $120 is a good...

Pretty much, NO. :-) Females are going to fight amongst themselves, and they will form pairs and one of the females will act like a male. They're never going to be peaceful, they're Jaguars... Now, if you pack them in there really dense, and provide a bare tank, there will be little...

Dunno... what are the other tank mates?

+2 something from the brasiliensis complex... great fish pretty much bulletproof.

I had a pair.. when obtained the male was ~9" TL female was 6.5-7" TL. For quarantine they were in a divided 30 gallon (36"), layed eggs on the divider. From there they went into a 125, where the male was always the biggest fish in the tank, and captured about 3' of the tank as his territory...

They definitely like some veg in their diet. I feed mine a mix of 40% shrimp 10% salmon 25% green beans 15% peas 10% spinach, all pureed together (10 lbs at a time).

Well I spoke with Joe briefly about priority mail and their stuff on aquabid about $20 shipping. He had some jurupari and acaricthys heckelli (marked as geophagus heckelli) that were CHEAP. I placed the order and they came in in great shape with breather bags and priority ship. 5 S. jurupari...

Sveni or belly crawler, pretty much anything from saxitilis complex.

I've heard of them being found in shipments of jurupari, a guy down in Houston got a group by picking them out of a wholesaler's tank. A buddy of mine used to work in a fish store in the 90's and got altums that way- they'd order 12 scalares and in every shipment they'd get 1 or 2 altums. I...

Awesome find there! Its rare to get stuff bigger than advertised, usually its the other way...

Main formula for success with them is fine/small food, way smaller than you'd think... I go with pureed shrimp/pea/salmon/spinach mix and blood worms / brine shrimp. And warm, clean water. Once you get them good and healthy, they are about as tough as anything else, but they do tend to be in...

Here's a pic of the couple. An older one right after a water change (fewer tannins)

So I've got this pair of Xingu 1's. Male is pushing 14", female is around 11". Here's the happy girl parked next to a 13"x13" piece of slate tile. Here's her with the old man... Anyway, I have had these about 9 months. When I got them they were in decent shape but the male had...

Well the last time I read about S. lilith on MFK was when that old thread that is now referenced in the MFK Threads that will never be... http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83077&highlight=lilith&page=6 I'm hopefully getting close though. Jaw locking...

I have a pair - 14" male 10" female. I can barely keep them with each other. They mistook a 8" red Petenia for a feeder... and the Petenia was already established when they were introduced. I'm sure with a larger tank (this one is 5' 100 gallon) they would mix well with larger CA's/SA's. I...

Ice storm losses back in Dec... about 1/3 of fish lost.

I have a variation on that "cheap wet dry" theme. I built a surge bucket, similar to the ones used on reef tanks, and packed it with bio material. So the bucket fills and emptys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoJDIjGSpnk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-LZ5UGtMJc
