My little lady Crenicichla sp. aff. Saxatilis 'Demerara'. She was not doing well in the 125g, she would not eat, hid in the fake plants all day so I moved all my fish around and put her in the 220g. She is doing great now, eats like a champ and never hides. I could not be happier. :D

She has zero interest in the Geophagus Abalios group. The female above her in this pic just spawned and always get her fins shredded by the male when they spawn, not the pike.

She never leaves the side of my male Heros sp. Rotkeil, the are buddies. ;)

On the other hand, she doesn't care for the gold severum at all. This is her chacing the gold out of one of her favorite spots.

Reminds me of menenezi with so much spangling - stupendously shimmering!

I could very well be. These pics are marginally better than the ones I had for the I'd thread I started. What are the defining characteristics of Menenezi?
