Herichthys bocourti or Vieja tuyrense

[DJC776]

Ladies and Gentlemen please help! I have bought some F1 Festae youngsters off Big_Cichlid as well as a pair of V Argentea. He now has a trio of 4-5" Bocourti and 4 4" Tuyrense that he is moving on.

What do you reckon I go for the B or T?

Or both......................lpl

Do you have any photos of any of the above and advice please

Cheers now

Would you be biased? lol

 

[BIG_CICHLID]

No, just think you should take everything BC has to offer and pay double for it because he's a nice guy!

Bocourti IMO, but its purely an opinion. Either way you can't go wrong! Both awesome looking fish!

 

[santoury]

Both are very uncommon - I would go for both species

 

[BIG_CICHLID]

They are indeed.

I would say that bocourti are more common than tuyrense. You NEVER see tuyrense anywhere. Is this the same in the states??

I only see Bocourti availably a few times a year and I've never even heard of tuyrense!

 

[DJC776]

Looks like it may have to be both then!!

Bocourti IMO. I grew up with one. He was almost as old as me but just passed away this december. He was the last of my dads breeding colony and what a fish he was. Awesome copper color on his sides with a bright green and blue face. Both are exceelent choices but since I grew up with one I say bocourti.
