Just got these little guys a couple of weeks ago from Jeff Rapps. I bought 4 all are doing great and growing fast. Just a little over an inch showing great color and aditude always squaring off. Very nice Acras you don't see too often.

Never seen them, pretty cool. Similar shape and some color resemblance to my port acara but definitely and very different overall color.
 
Looking forward to seeing pics as they mature. Not sure why but this species has always peaked my interest. They look great Tom! :D
 
Very nice pickup. I'm looking forward to updates.
 
Here's a couple of more shots. They are in a 55 with a 2.25" GT that pays no attention to them at all.

Thanks everyone, I like them somthing you don't see everyday. They have alot of personailty for such little guys. I'll use this thread to keep a record of their growth and progress. They eat like pigs I've been feeding them NLS Thera A+, Omega One Veggie Flakes & Sprulina Brine Shrimp. They are very healthy and little strong fish.
 
Nice pickup. It's amazing how different they look in a decorated tank... mine were raised in a bare-bottom tank and they were really light-colored with just a few orange flecks on their sides. I think my favorite thing about the Krobia is when they darken up and show the black striped mask across their face.
