if you were me what type of these Pbass would u get? i wanted about 6.
chichlia tems
chichlia mono
chichlia ocelifer
chichlia tems wild
chichlia synspilium

and are the wild tems any diff from the normal tems?
 
why not get one of each? lol.

Personally - If I'd had to choose, I'd pick 3 azuls and maybe 3 fogos (I think those are the red ones right?) That'll make for a nice colorful and big tank. ;) Never seen either in real life though - the pictures of them online are beautiful .. sigh

else - i like the tems. :)

I wish i could get 3 azuals and 3 fogos, i would shat myself lol.
and i actully might do 1 of each, only problem is they are like 2" 21/2" 3" 6" 4" and im afraid the bigger guys will eat the smaller ones.
 
Anything wild caught is usually better because it means better genes and the fish could be more aggressive since it's used to finding food on it's own.

Of that list I like monos, ocellaris and tems. But mono's are my favorites, just my personal preference and everyone has their own. Buy which ones you like/can house..
 
I want to breed them sooner or later, and i heared tems cant are very hard to breed...

Can anyone show me a pic of the ocelifer or synsp

i dont really like monos that much just because they get that big hump looking thing, But i was thinking either 3 tems, and 3 synspiliums but i have no clue what a synspilium looks like lol
 
syn. I don't think is a pbass unless I'm wrong. I think ocelifer is misspelled as ocelifer is a kind of a catfish and not a pbass. I think they mean't ocellaris if you're talking about tfd.

IMO get whatever you want, maybe 4 mixed pbass and then save room for some azuls or fogos if you find some as they get more popular.
 
Id kill for some azuals or fogos. I think im gona do this

2 x 2 1/2" chichlasoma synspilium (sp)
2 x 2" wild tems
2 x 2" normal tems.
but i have to email them to make sure the syns are Pbass, and what the diff is between the tems.
 
you can get them don, u in cali right!!!! its just that long cross-country flight im worried about and the shipping is so expensive!!!!Ill have some soon...:popcorn:
