All time fav G. Altifron

 

[Red Devil]

Yes, reddevil, they really are cool. and $20 for the 4 inch one doesn't seem bad. They develop pretty quickly though if you are looking to get smaller ones. I really enjoy watching them pick up the gravel and spit it back out...it's a pretty continuous process and people that don't know fish will love watching him too. They are very docile and majestic when they fully color up, I give them a thumbs up all the way around.

If it is still there when i go back i will get it..these guys are just so beautiful.

pull yours out of the tank and throw a tape on it, id be willing to bet a 6 pack its not 7" the ones in Scott's tank are maxed out. they came from the Shed Aquarium and were in a very large tank and there not 9"

i know a lot of people that have F0 adults and F1 adults and also keep them in large tanks with optimal water changes are not more then 7"

If orange heads got 9-10" everyone would own them but unfortunately they don't get that big hell i would still have them if they got that big

someone show me a 10" tapajos Orange head and il send you a 6pack of your choice but even Weidner has never seen one this size and if there is anyone out there that has it would be him

Alright, maybe its my imagination because I haven't been to Scotts in a few months and that display is pretty packed.


I did some "tape to the glass" measuring and the largest two are right about 6" w/ the smaller two at about 5 1/2"

Ya scott has some juripari in with them as well i think? they max around 2 years or so but fill out nicely. they will get fat and thick. and thats when they look good! or better for that matter.

I wish tapajos got the size of Altifrons i would have a tank full of them. maybe we can start injecting them with steroids lol
