Yes, they are genetically close to aros. Are they mouth brooder too?. When I saw them in lfs, they are motionless fish, not move constantly as aros. Also unlike aros, they seem to be peaceful to one another.
Well I did read an article on breeding african butterfly fish a year or so back so forgive me if I misremember but as far as I can remember they are not mouth brooders.
My memory may be fuzzy but I do remember this one quote, “the young remain motionless and are truly stealth hunters. Unless the food is right infront of their face they won’t go after it therefore they need a very shallow tank and need to be spot fed”.
Like I said my meory is fuzzy so don’t quote me but I am quite certain that I at least correctly remembered the general gist of it.

They’re about an eh or a 5 on a 1-10 scale. They typically hover in one spot for a bit then occasionally glide over to another spot. They do swim majestically though.
Thought I'd let you all know that reading this thread the other day inspired my purchase today for my poor man's arowana...

Don't suppose people could check out my thread in the natural theme / biotope forum? I'm asking for some stocking advice now I've just brought this. (Didn't mean to hijack - sorry)
