Introducing my WILD CAUGHT "Mesoheros Atromaculatum

Update... One of the female orange red colours are beginning to pop now.... These orange tones will eventually turn to deep red.
Good looking atros! I picked up a group of 6 about 18 months ago to grow out. I lost one within the first week or two, but the other 5 have started to put on some size. A pair has formed and are currently protecting their 2nd batch of eggs. I'm hoping to come home to wigglers tonight. The first spawn was unsuccessful, as the eggs were eaten before they had the opportunity to hatch.
I have not experienced as much orange/red on the female of my pair. She definitely has a black blotch in the dorsal, which I've been told is a good indicator of gender (much like their festae cousins).

You can get them at a reasonable price these days. I think The Wet Spot has them for $15 a piece for wild caught juveniles.
Awesome, I almost picked up a male Atro a little while back but decided I didn't have room for him when he grew up. Keep this updated, I'd like to see him/her at a large size
