Brycon pesu

[LiamIrons]

Just got these, first time I’ve seen them in the UK extremely hard to get a photo

I've been seeing pesu from the Rio Xingu pop up here and there lately. Should prove fun to keep and quite reasonable, too, given the pesu-group is the smallest of Brycon.
Good luck!

We get Brycon guatamalensus here in Panama, they are fascinating, but eventually get too big for 6 ft tanks.

These are caught in high pH, hard water.

The bottom fish in the 2nd Pic looks like pink tail chalcia, fairly common to get. It is a carnivorous tetra, not Beycon which is fruit eater.

Love ‘em one of my favorites alongside moorei and Melanopterus

Clearly a different fish, that's right, but it's actually a yellowfin chalceus, a toucan fish. Distinguishable by the spot behind the gills and the yellow fins
