Crenicichla Lugubris ( Marmorata, True Lenticulata, Rosemarie and others )
Vieja ( Argentea, Regani, Zonatus and others)
Geophagus (Aeros, Altifrons, Pindare and others)
Hericthys (Pearsii)
Jurapari (Leucosticta cf Red Amazona)

A hell you get the idea, impossible for me to choose five individual fish. So I picked my
top five species with a few top fish in each.
