Cutteri cichlid thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Cavamart used to have rio mongo (I got my big hrp from him) and dogofwar and dispatch have rio jutiapa fry. Either way they're an under appreciated crypto

Just about every stream in Central America has a cutteri/splilurum-complex fish...as well as a "convict".... and each is slightly different.

Rio Jutiapa and Rio Monga are in the hobby because Ken Davis and some other folks happened to collect them and were able to successfully bring them back. There are a million other "different" ones down there...

The gold spilurum from Rio Blanco and the Chetamulensis are also similar fish floating around the hobby (I've currently got the latter but have kept and bred both).

Anyway, I keep and breed the Rio Jutiapa cutteri (redder)...and am growing out some Rio Monga (yellower) and need to give them some space to breed (they're about ready).

I've also keep and breed about 10 kids of wild-type cons and other Cryptoheros :)

That's cool Matt. chetumalensis is another crypto on my list

I got about 15 fry from sandy. I was thinking about buying some 1.5" fry online to diversify the blood line. Floridatropicalfishdirect.com has 1.5" and 4" cutteri for sale.

Yeah I hear you on that, ours come from a line of wife killers. My male has killed two wives and Sandy's male just killed his female. Matt must be breeding for aggression ;)
 
ALL of the Rio Jutiapa cutteri in the hobby came from Ken Davis. Getting them from a different (less certain) source kinda doesn't make sense...
