baby Hoplias aimara ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Is yours from BW or a different vendor? If BW I'd trust what Oliver says about collection point that he got it from. I am a newb with wolves so I don't know all of their collection points except there is a VZ, Suriname, and red tapajos variant, but there are even more than that.
 
I'll take pics of mine so we can compare. I'm moving so I don't have decent lights in the tank for now. I will say the color changes drastically with the environment. In his 180g with black bottom and black background he's very dark and patterns are harder to see. When he was in the 40g hospital tank with no background and bare bottom he was very light and patterns were striking.

No mine are not from below water. i just asked him some questions on his face book page about the different variants back when i got them , because he had some on his list that i get every few months and i knew he would be a good person to talk to about them .

They do have a very large range from what i can find out googling like many different south american countries
 
BW has been around for years. Oliver used to be the prime importer for a lot of zoos and public aquariums. Him and Wes have been around for years and have made many of our dreams come true :)
