Armatus shoal -before and now update

[kendragon]

Got these guys 2 months ago at around 6" (first picture). Currently (second and third picture) the biggest one is approx 10". No sign of aggression yet. No one in the tank have any torn fins or bites. When does the peacefulness stop? 12", 18", 20"?

Nice, keep us posted on what happens with these guys. Interested to see on how it all ends up

well...definitely looks like they arent sticking together as much.LOL
i like the blood parrots too.

When I got them they stuck together near the bottom. Sometimes in two groups. As they got bigger they came closer to the top. Just this week they started swimming around a lot and apart mostly at mid to upper level. This is why I'm thinking a change in attitude is coming.
The king kong parrots were suppose to be my cichla pellet trainers but I ended up getting armatus.
