So does anyone know exactly what sp. the last batch of Kelberi that bigguapote (Jeff) brought in last time?

The last batch and this are exactly the same.



They are an introduced species from a resevoir near Minas Gerais.

His biggest one is about 15+" at least. Soon as he drops it off my door step I'll measure it

nice read

Since kelberi is one of the smaller species, is it safe to put them with bigger orinos? im thinking of putting 2 3.5" kelberi with 4 6-7" orinos. what you guys think?

 

[krichardson]

The Orinos will get the lions share of whatever you intend to feed them which should cause the kel to grow slower.I would keep the kel in another tank untill it gets a little bigger.
