Best thoricthys fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Robertsoni is a target of mine because they are the largest in the group and I love the blue colors but I agree with most people that Ellioti are simply stunning.

Robertsoni is not a thorichthys they are astatheros.
Ellioti maybe the most aggressive of the thorichthys.
I'd look at aureus or mixteco gold. They are beautiful and low aggression.

I currently have Thorichthys: mixteco "gold", mixteco "blue" , aureus"gold",helleri,maculipinnis,meeki, pasiones and socolofi .
maculipinnis and meeki so far have been the most aggresive , did have a psychopathic male mixteco gold though .....all of them have the potential to fit what you want.....socolofi will be the most timid though
ellioti could be a good choice but so IMO could any of the others I mentioned so long as you ar not adding them in with species that are far more agggressive than them and the tank is large enough

I have a 135 with a pair of hrps, marbled cons and kribs. Some roselines, angels and oscars. The angels and oscars aren't long term. Just growing them out. I'm really interested in the ellioti. Is there a website that shows different thoricthys species?
