Where'd you order them from
 
Thanks! Got him here in the philippines my importer got them with some wild red chested hoplarchus psittacus also from rio negro... Any idea what type of heros severus these are?
 
thanks for the nice comments!
here are some updated pics... have to learn how to take shots from my cam that would show their real colors... they are almost dark blue or dark turquoise. Sometimes they will be all striped out like they have multiple bars on the body but it comes and goes... a friend came to visit and said that they were HEROS APPENDICULATUM and he hasnt seen any in the country for years...... can anyone validate this? are wc appendiculatum rare? my importer has three more, should i get them? thanks guys... ill just show a bunch of pics of the three heros i got. thanks.. again, much appreciated...

I'd nearly agree with flowerpower going by the photo. i have a group of 6 young heros severus and they look distinctly different!! severus only seem to be dark when their stressed or something but yours should be showing the orange flanks by now. apart from the orange mine look like green severums in appearance. nice pickup all the same:thumbsup:
