Nice pix!monos

Excuse me, you have reason delgado.....

All of the azuls I have seen have at least 5 bars and the one in the picture you attached has only three. Plus azuls have more of a grayish base color and obviously the blue sheen, particularly in the fins. That being said, the fish in your picture is way cool and I'd love to know what locality it hails from.

I believe that is a "Rio Negro" variant of a mono beautiful fish.

I like the black dorsals on the mono diamante's

Here is a pic of my Cichla Temensis "Atabapo" in his container before I started drip acclimating:

I would love to pic up some temensis atabapo's or just some nicer temensis period. I need to post some updated pics of the diamante's 1 of the pbass in particular has developed a nice lateral line its the pbass in the top of the 2nd pic I posted but its much more defined now when he's hunting and looks really nice. If you don't mind me asking, where did you pick that one up and how much pm me please, Thanks ~Trent
