Young female C. minuano

I've also been experimenting with 1/4 tank shots to get some of their environment into the background...

Pimping! How is the aggression between the mins and celids? Very cool sir!

Absolutely love celidochilus. One day I will own some. Super awesome tank!!

Thanks guys!

how large are the celidos?

These are 5-6". The females are just maturing I think. They aren't big enough yet to combine with the larger ones I have.

How is the aggression between the mins and celids?

It's surprisingly minimal, these particular celidos are fairly laid back, I have others that are really intolerant. So, I guess it depends somewhat on the individual. Lot and lots of caves and dithers (minuano!) reduces their aggression considerably.

That by far is the best picture evar! POTM sir! Love it! Can't deny the awesomeness of these pikes!

Its surprisingly effective to use other pikes as dithers, I've noticed this as well. Glad its working out. How many celidochilus do you have now?

Thanks for the kind words!

How many celidochilus do you have now?

Eight. Seven from the Rio Cuareim and one from Arroyo de la Invernada. They're split into three tanks because of size differences.
