beautiful fish bill, i'm really looking forward to growing mine on now, i like your setup too, lots of nooks and crannies. nice one., thanks for the comments too!!:)
 
I am about to order 6 of these from Jeff rapps actually. Yalls are nice looking!

How did you get that pair...thats what im after...can you just stick a M and F together and they will pair up or they have to grow up together and select each other?
 
I'm told 20 cm. is about a big as they get tank-wise. This guy is young and that size. Pussycat. Costa Rican nic; I think Rapps photos I've seen are the Lake Nacarauguan variety? Not olive like these but much more yellow. Nice if you've found them!

Here are old pics of my younger nics. I recently bought larger ones from Rapps so I will probably get rid of these but we will see. So right now I have 4 3" ones and 4 4.5" ones in my 55 gallon. I will get updated pics when I get home. They remind me of large firemouths. Always flaring their fins but not willing to lip lock(pushy). Oh by the way these are the costa rican race
