Nice!!! Do you know which variant of strigata you are getting? Definitely looking forward to pictures! 
Once a Crenicichlaholic, always a Crenicichlaholic in my book, so you never left.
If Crenicichla don't get more publicity and appreciation this year, I'll be really surprised. Crenicichla are finally starting to come out on top!!!

There here!!! I just love the atabapo II`s already. Right now the strigata`s look pretty plain. When they settle in , I might try to post a pic or two. You know I`m the worst pic taker on the planet. Kinda wish I had got the lents now. Pics to come...

I've been wondering about the strigata -hope they don't remain plain looking. Seems to me there is a spectacular regional variant(s) and then the more drab specimen. A few years back we had a very bland looking strigata acquired from Jeff Rapps that I was disapointed with.
The photos I've seen of Don's Atabapo II's have been very encouraging - fat & healthy looking, no HITH whatsoever, and very red fins for their size. Whenever you can post some pics I promise not to object! How's the gibbiceps & 'panda's??? You lucky man, nice to be a friend of Don, right?
Best luck with the new fish, we look forward to hearing more from you!
You got some gibbiceps as well hey? Awesome!! I just got two at the fish auction that came from Don as well I believe. Cool fish, wouldn't mind a few more to round them off and possibly get a breeding program going!!
Jon ~ Yeah, there are some HOTT variants of strigata, and also some not so hot ones. Member those red finned strigata/lugubris? Those were hott. I had a variant of strigata that was yellow with red fins. Amazing fish! Only time will tell!!!
Btw...my atabapo IIs are starting to color up! So stoked!! Their heads are getting a reddish tint all over! I can't wait! Definitely want to see pictures of the ones you got from Don!!!
