These two are only about 2" and have a lot of growing to do. They are extremely fast and it's hard to get decent pics. Also getting pics of 2" fish in a 150g with other photobombers is tough lol.
These are CB fish. I don't know their origin, but I haven't seen red on the anal fin until now. The blues are finally starting to come in.

Looking good Steve.
Can't wait to see all these fully grown. It'll be a great tank.

Thanks Darren. It's gonna be a long time lol. I've had them since December 2016, and they only grown a little.
I may move some of the other species like astyanax bimculatus, HRP, Rainbow, c. Rostratus, and deppii (depending on aggression). I already had to split the two deppii up because the one started getting aggressive and nipping the other cichlids. The other deppii is very peaceful.
Anyway the goal with this tank will be a CA eartheater.
 
Just for comparison, I found a pic of a robertsoni I had. In this pic, she is maybe an inch longer max. She never had any red on her anal fin. So I am very curious on how the current fish will turn out and where they originated from. I asked the place I bought them from, and all they knew was they are captive bred. This is why I like to know the catch location. There is a lot of variation in robertsoni in color and body shape.
