Picked these guys up today.. the two stripped raphaels looked rough as you can see in the pic. Anyway, I need to know what syno this is. It's not a Eupterus although it does look similar.

The Red Wolf showing lots of interest in his new tank mates.

One of the Stripped Raphaels.. about 4.5" or so.

The Nigrita does resemble the Eupterus.I have a six inch Eupterus but does not come much when the lights are on.Reds looks like he is getting up in age.

I call the red "Gramps" now.. lol

I'm kinda bummed this syno only gets to 6" but he'll just have to be one of the smaller fish of the tank. The cat is very aggro though, he had a territory claimed within 5 min and chased anything that came it's way, even came out of his territory and tried to get the wolves driftwood. That didn't last long but it was funny.

What about those Raphaels,what made you get those hiders?
 
I've always been a fan of the prehistoric look that Raphaels have. I want to see how big I can grow these guys out to.

Nice pickups, get some more synos to prevent the nigrita from getting too shy.

I'll probably pick up a Eupterus and maybe a one or two other species..
