Just short clips of some of my Heros. I'm off tomorrow so I will actually try and take some decent pics of my other wild notatus.

Looking good! Love the notatus. So he leaves your plants alone?

Not really. Right now I just have a huge anubias and my big amazon sword and they are potted. They knocked over my other sword, so I re-potted it and put it in my patio pond. Both swords are growing like crazy, even though they are getting nipped up. I have 4 more wild notatus that are about to come out of quarantine. Just did a 50% water change and they are fattening up a bit! I'm hoping to find him a female out of that group. I believe I have 2 males and 2 females, but they are all about a inch or so smaller than notatus in the clip.

They all look like boys to me, except maybe the one on the far right near the end of the video. I couldn't get a good look at its head. The girls are rarely ever spotted. My F1s all showed spots, then the girls lost them around 3". All three of my wild females lacked facial spots.

Your bigger notatus has a really cool pattern. I like that his spots are kind of random and give him a more mottled look.

Moved them into a 65 and they are paired up, I took a video of courtship hyjinx. I will post it later.
