Do I have an Aimara?

This is based on what I've seen online from other vendors. So I hope it's close to being accurate.

You are close,judging by what I have seen recently.I am wondering how much the op paid for his?

Fair enough and good for you if it was not more than what was stated previously.

Probably bought it as a different species? LOL!

Great deal I would say.

yep it was described as a malabaricus but I had one in the past and I knew it is something diferent , first I thought lacredae but those eyes were too big, all in all it was worth buying

How is he competing with the PBs for food?

If feeding live, it will have a difficult time unless the PBs are fed to the brim first.

So far I only feed him frozen smelt and he likes them. The fish that I have with him are central amercian and african cichlid. They are also predatory but more ambush instead of open water like pbs are. However in the past I had some occelaris with malabaricus and i have to admit pbass are faster than wolfs but still my mala wasn't hungry I was wondering if aimara grows faster tham malabaricus or similiar?An today I'll buy some feeders and check out how he hunts comparing to cichlids.
