not great shots, but I thought it was interesting anyway.

They are Gymno sp Rio Yerbalito
 
They are very easy to keep, as long as you can give them a cooling period. I keep them in an unheated tank with cool water live bearers

all winter, where the temp hangs around 65'F. In summer I toss them in the pond where they have spawned the last couple years.

I put them in the pond last week,(except the brooding female)
this I consider their cooling off period.
temps are now high 40s low 50s at night, low 60s day time.

best kept 1 male with 3 or 4 females.
