Need help deciding on species!

[freebyrd]

I need help choosing my next pikes. I have had lenticulata in the past and LOVED them should have never sold them I could get more of those OR at the same price I can get atabapo I slightly colored up...OR I can bit the bullet and spend a few more bucks and get tapajos red sp.

So...

Tapajos red?
Atabapo I?
Or back to lenticulata?

Lenticulata! Those spots they get on their heads when mature beat even the reddest of reds

thanks for the input, the lents were indeed nice and they had a TON of personality...anyone with red tapajos or atabapo experience have any input?

Where are you getting the lents from dude? I dont have any experience but If you want something different I'd say go for the tapajos. Lents are sweet but not anywhere near as rare as a tapajos. I read a thread about a super aggressive tapajos tried to attack owner through glass tons of personality... But lents are personable too. I wouldn't go atabapo because of suscetibility of HITH (pet peeve) even though they're pretty sweet my water is too hard ph 8.2.
