Awesome Indy! You're representing Indiana quite well. I think you're going to be pretty stoked when those grow out.

Yep already saw that after I posted. edited my post. lol.. Thats pretty uncommon. I may just have to order a pair. LOL. Ive got a buddy that was admiring my Saums.

Actually, Rapps has them fairly frequently. Seems like he has them most times I look on his site.
 
Nice fish! Congrats :-)

Over the winter, I picked up six myersi at 1.5 inches for my SA tank. They have voracious appetites and will eat anything. 2 of the six are (I think) forming a pair. The largest is about 5.5 inches probably male and second largest is about 4 inches probably female. The remaining 4 are between 2.5 to 3.5 inches. They don't bother anyone except each other. Recently the 2 largest began relentlessly harassing the others. Constant chasing and biting. I've just removed the 4 smaller fish, because they would have been killed. They're an interesting species, especially when they show their basket mouth! Great coloration as they grow. The dominant fish will grow very, very quickly.

Lots of luck!

Thanks .. These guys started looking for food as soon as I put them in the tank.. I sure I will have to eveuntually thin them out but I got six to try to get a pair. They do look cool when the " yawn" showing their basket mouth..
