I've never raised cubans before but they look nice. Nice buy. :D
 
Woohoo now i just have to fly across the atlantic ocean to pick some up!
Thanks for letting me know, im on my way now.:nilly:

Nice pick-ups anyway!:D
 
These guys grow slow. At this size, I keep temperature about 86 degrees and feed low protein foods as they can bloat. They don't get along well with each other, so be sure to provide lot's of hiding spots, as they stress out and can bloat from stress as well. Once they reach 4", they are very hardy.

I have a breeding pair of cubans in the los angeles area. They are a beautiful fish to have and easy to maintain.
Those looks nice. Ive seen very few adult cuban pictures.
 
Give the juvies plenty of space, and hiding places, in small tanks they have the tendency of killing each other. I woke one day to find a 3" juvie with a 2" one half down it's gullet.
