Orino's and Pinima

[Superlaz]

I realize I never post pics of the orino growouts...Just did a water change earlier, so took advantage.

Tank has a few Columbian orino's, as well as 2 Rio negro, and a few Black Bar silver dollars..which has always kept them distracted enough to curb aggression. Sorry, Pics could be better.

You can definitely see the difference between the RN Orino, and the Columbians. I have a second tank with 30+ Columbians, but no light on it and got lazy...lol.


Tank looks murky but thats because I had JUST finished with the water change and stirred some crap up from the sand. Anyhow, I thought I'd post pics of the 2 Pinima. They are both the same size (maybe 1/2" difference) and both came from Rapps batch..however, markings...totally different. I wonder if its aggression related...the dark one is very mellow, while the spotted one is very territorial and is second in the tank only to the larger Piquiti.

Don't think I'll be parting with these anytime soon...Columbians however...Have a whole mess of them.
