I have meeki and pasionis, and there are aureus occasionally available where I live, but from what I've seen Ellioti are the best. I'm thinking about getting rid of the meeki and ordering some Ellioti. For those with Ellioti, are they worth it?

Here's is a short video of my meeki defending a brood, it was taken with a cell phone so the quality is terrible, sorry.

So a few pictures that are from today rather then the video fro 3 years ago of my meeki.

My male I measured him about a month ago and he was 6 1/8". He is around 4 years old I think.

My female is the same age and measured at 4 1/2"

And best picture I could get of the two together.
Sorry for the poor quality pictures.

Thorichthys ellioti
Thorichthys meeki
Thorichthys pasionis

Had these three until they got in my way of having a planted tank. Once I get my 100g setup going I will be in the market for another Thorichthys...probably another T. ellioti.

I"ve added 3 T. aureus from Rapps to my collection. They're still under 2" so pretty small to get any decent pics. I'll be sure to add pics of them and my pasionis as they continue to grow and color up.

Well its a little late but finally i remembered i had a pic of my pair of ellioti back when they spawned. These fish are still really young , and the flash seems to have washed out most of their color.
