Are these Aequidens metae?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well they could be Diadema as well. Metae and Diadema look VERY VERY close. The video does look Metae as Diadema don't usually get dark coloring on the gill plate much at all.

Anyways Metae grow a bit smaller the Diadema maxing out at maybe 7-8". Diadema can get close to 10". Somewhat peaceful they can get into quarrels though and suprisingly come out on top. Reason they said Metae Terrors is because it's from Aequidens and GS and Green Terrors come from that Genus.

If they are anything like Diadema you can practically keep them with anything that is not super aggro or can eat them.
 
I own one about 3 inches. It looks similar but because of the quality of the video I cant say for sure. It could be one of the other "yellow acaras". They are suppose to be generally peaceful, but mine is a maniac.

Thanks cross - that's very helpful.

Haven't seen these around much. What's a fair price for one 4" fish?
