Wow old thread guys.....

Well as long as it got bumped I may as well give an update. I'm the one that took this fish to the auction some time ago and was bought by a good friend (the OP). He housed this monster until he hit the 10" mark and decided to get rid of him so of course I jumped on the chance to get this fish back. So now he lives here with me....he's mean as hell and kills for fun....coolest fish I've ever owned!!:headbang2

Here are a few of his latest pictures

Wow I wonder if the Trimac is a natural cross with these because I can Definitely see the similarities in both fish!

Carg --

are you the same Carg that started this whole thread so long ago? Assuming you are....

Have you had any other Amarillo since this one? How common is the red throat on Amarillo? I really like the snub nose look of this species, but I've never noticed they have so much red. That makes Amarillo even better in my mind.

I'm trying to decide between a Hoga or Amarillo breeding project.......
