Panamensis "Red"

[Havey]

I'm not sure if I've posted this fish before.
Not often seen at the fishstores. I had a spawn a few months back and lost them to the other fish in the tank. This male is starting to put on weight and color up nicely. Estimate size right now at 4".

Thanks guys.
Max size on these are about 5".
I have them in with some other Central Americans(HRP, Cutteri, Sajica).
I ordered these in from Don Conkel.

According to the Aquarium Atlas, the Red Panamensis are from the Atlantic of Panama, the Brown from the Pacific Side. Two different watersheds.
