new fish paratheraps

[freebyrd]

Hey guys n girls just wanted to share two new pick ups. All credit goes to Gage over at cichlidconnection.com he's also a vendor here on MFK.com. sorry for the funky lights and water color tannins are still being released from some new wood. Also I just fed them so there's a lot of food floating around in the water but had to snap some quick shots

First up is my paratheraps cf. Fenestratus red piebald male

Next is the real beauty, a paratheraps guttaluttus

Both fish are 10-11" and male so far no aggression issues my DROID bionic does not do them any justice at all. Awesome fish and very personable. The fene has the most unique colors I've ever seen. Thanks for looking

Very nice! What size tank do you have them in?

A 265 gallon with a pair of festae pair of ornatum 1 managuense 1 zonatus 1 lyonsi. I moved a severum cuban midas to make room. The tank is 7'x2'x2.5' I think, its huge. Filtration is fluval fx5 x2 and 2 powerheads. Soon adding a 55g sump tank with a big submersible pump, more on that project later.
