New fish from Rapps

[rrcoolj]

First time ordering from him and I was very pleased. The fish came out very healthy and entered the tank fighting. Despite me being anxious I was very impressed with the health of the fish. Only two new fish...

lyonsi
panama convict "rio robalo"

The convict has a ton of blue alread with a red sheen. The lyonsi has these bright ruby red eyes and it looks like it's already starting to color up. I can't wait until they get big! Here's a video I took of them. I will post pics when night time comes and they will sit still.

nice i ordered from rapps like 2 or 3 weeks ago for the first time hes good at shipping i almost got a lyonsi to nice fish

 

[rrcoolj]

thanks guys. I put these two in the tank and they immediatly started picking fights with my larger flier cichlids who quickly put the in thier place. I am very excited to see all 3 species of fish mature.

Finally got some pics. Only of the fliers and convict though. Will try to get pics of the lyonsi up but he's a bit shy.

Nice looking but i wonder how long before the convict starts bullying the Flier?

Nice pickups! the lyonsi is to one to watch, when they get some size on them they can be quite agressive.

The convict is already stirring up trouble. It's nothing serious but he is bossing around the fliers even my largest male. The lyonsi is verry personable. Hopefully the fliers will stand thier ground a bit. I really want to keep them. If they can't I will proabably end up keeping a pair in a 29. The tank will be for the lyonsi so if anybody's staying it's him. I would hate to get rid of the convicit. That blue just keeps getting brighter and brighter.
