Amphilophus Lyonsi

[Buphy]

Finally got my Amphilophus Lyonsi in! Making this thread to track their progress. The ultimate goal is to achieve a breeding pair and be active in a conservation project as these fish are thought to be non-existent in the wild today.

They are going to be living in my bedroom 125 gallon tank. Here are some of the earliest pics of that tank set up and some of its other inhabitants (for the time being).

And some of the first pics of them!

I'll be keeping my eye on this thread. Always been a fan of lyonsi, yet I've never kept them. Looking forward to seeing the progress! Best of luck!

Fingers crossed for a breeding pair. May the odds be ever in your favor!

I have, he has a fantastic pair + a few extras. Or he did when he made his videos.

Nice looking tank! I like the bottom slate, tile and pfs mix.

Thanks! I'm in love with slate bottom tanks but the sand gives them something to play in and spawn in later on and having no tiles in that spot means it stays there (kinda).
