Just picked up two F0 Acaronia Nassa along with a really nice looking baby Gold Saum. I'll post some pics later once they are settled in. If anyone has any good first had info to share about the Nassa it would be much appriciated.
 
I must be lame because I had to look this fish up. I have never heard of it. Google is my friend;). It looks like a nice and less-common cichlid. Great pick up! I hope you get all the info that you need.
 
Not sure, I picked a large 2.5" aggresive fish and a 2.25" fish just mixing with the group best I do.

Not at all lame, these guys are not seen often and when they came available I jumped on them because they are somthing I wanted and have been interested for a while but could never find. Very cool looking Acara with a big snook like mouth.
 
Baketmouth cichlids...nice pick up. I had a few of those many years ago. It always reminded me if you could get a parachromis type fish in the shape of a salvini. very cool. looking forward to the pics. Wayne Leibel worked with them for a while.

this is helpful^^^
I seen them a few weeks ago at SA and really thought about grabbing a few.Is that where you found them?And for the record...I had no clue about them either.rare basket mouths is what I was told.
This was a very informative article. From it a hobbyist has directions as to feeding, aquascaping, tankmates, and inducing breeding. They sound like great cichlids, Aquanero. I wish you great success with them and I also look forward to your pics.
