Gymnogeophagus balzani updates

[peathenster]

Got a group (8) of juvie G. balzani a few weeks ago from Ken (aka fishfarmusa). They are growing nicely and the biggest one (dominant male??) is getting a tinny little hump. A few of them are showing some yellow colors (hopefully females).

I don't know why but I just feel that they are cuter than other Gymnos and Geos Hope they'll be "square" soon.

Sorry about the dirty glass...

Very pretty fish and pix.

Absolutely lovely. Are those true parrots as well? Or rotkeil Severums?

Very Nice! Tankmates? Did you give them a cool down yet? What is your temp? They look fantastic!

Nuthman~

Thanks!

Yes I have 4 H psittacus and a pair of H. rotkeil, all from the same excellent source.

Yeah I worry about that too. Will chill them next winter (hope it's not too late!).

It's mostly a wimpy SA tank (220g) with severums, H. psittacus, a pair of WC Gymno sarandi and a few other fish.

They look really good! Ken also sent me some nice & healthy 1.0" umbees, in late nov.08. I have to work on some pics of them.

Nicest stocking for a SA cichlid-only tank ever.

And I have four leucostictas in a 55...

I don't think so but thanks!

I love Satanoperca too! My two jurupari (in another tank) are so fat that I bet if I make a transverse section, they'll be triangular...
