New Pickup: Balzani

[Optimist]

Hey guys. I just picked this guy up from the LFS. He's about 5 inches. I've been keeping my eye out for these guys for a long time. Balzani are what got me interested in Gymnogeophagus. He's sharing a tank with my Gymnogeohpagus Cuareim. These guys are awesome!

Nice pick up.
Definitely one of my favorite of the Geo's. My LFS had one one time that was huge and had the biggest forehead I have ever seen (aside from my own )

Thanks for the comments guys. Now all I need to do is find some females... maybe get some breeding action.

Here is another shot:

Awesome fish.
My LFS has some and I'm planning on adding them hopefully this week. They're great fish with a pretty feisty attitude.
