Dwarf Pikes

[darth pike]

is that your own fish or a stock photo?

No, she was mine and that is my photo. I have a few more, but they are painfully out of focus.

That's the best dwarf I've seen.

Best dorsal pattern in a dwarf I think, but the body lacks the colors of say a noto

Was that her breeding dress?

No clue, she was in a tank solo when I picked her up labeled as Colombian Wallacii ... so I think she was a contaminent. I picked up a male from somewhere that ordered from the same wholesaler, but I don't think they were the same species (males are notoriously hard to ID without the females present. except notos and comps).

know anyone that has any notos available?

Rapps had them a few weeks ago, but they sell fast now that brasil limits exports so are rare these days.

I have a group of C. regani from the Manacapuru area, near the main channel of the Amazon. I have had very little aggression issues with the 7 of them in a 40g though they will be transfered to my 150g coming in June after I move.
