Very nice looking Fosso Rostratus.

Amazing that you can keep two mature males in a tank together.
The alpha male I had (when it surpassed 12" killed all other males in a 150 gal tank, then started in on nonreceptive females.
I ended up with a spawning pair, it was incredible to see her cram almost 50, two inch frying her mouth, and dive under the sand when startled.

Thanks! The dominant male is 9.5 inches and the sub is 10. The two females are 7 and 6.5.

Thanks James. Yes amazing how these fish grow and change. They still school to this day. Here are some other pics of the group. The one pic is when they were only about 2.5 inches.
