Good to see he went to a good home,I see his color is starting to settle in,it's only gonna get better from here on out.keep us updated.
 
Thanks for all the kudos guys

That may be the best lookin Istlantum I have ever seen. How big is he?

Thanks he looks to be around 5"

Makes me proud. I wish I still have the WC pair. The parents were originally from Joe collected from Rio Amacuzac

I can only imagine what the pair looked like :drool:

Good lookn out bro ;)
 
Very nice. I'm growing out a pair right now. They are becoming one of my favorite fish I've kept.
 
Looking great! I just got a little one from TUIC a couple of days ago. He was going to grow out in a 55 with some baby Amphilophus lyonsis I also got on the same order. But he was considerably bigger than them, and I know they get meaner, so I put him in a 30 gallon long by himself until he gets big enough for one of the larger tanks. I only ordered one, because I know they are prone to bloat and dying when young. So I just decided to try one and see how I do with it. I ordered the 1.25-1.50 inch size. So young, not much to look at yet.

Nice lil guy, is it the red or green variant?
 
My plan is to grow out this 'red' male along with 7" 'green' male & a 5" male grammode as wet pets there for insuring they stay in perfect condition. Though I am seriously considering finding a female for the particular istlanum as I would hate to see the blood line stop with him. Now all I need is a male beani and haitiensis to complete my collection :naughty:
