Hadn’t ever heard of these guys before! Those are some impressively colored cichlids!
Can’t wait to see the grow out! Good luck!

I still have the remaining 4. They seem to be doing well. 2 are growing faster and 2 not so fast, but are making progress.How's it going with these guys? I've recently come across these and the coeruleus and really think they'd be an interesting fish to keep. Very glad to these here
Looking goodI still have the remaining 4. They seem to be doing well. 2 are growing faster and 2 not so fast, but are making progress.
I have them in my 300g 8 footer now. They're are some wild type swordtails, common species silver dollars, a young pair of T.macculippinis, 2 Loricariidae.

Thanks for update Justin. Excellent setup of rthese guys you have. I've only recently come to one of these and have been looking into them. I don't have the equipment to keep them propey ATM but am working towards it slowly but surely.I still have the remaining 4.

Also the wild swords are beautiful. Ive found myself circling back around to a lot fish I've never kept because they were "basic/common" species readily available. I always wanted the rarest or most exotic. Here I am years in and there's still several fish that must ppl start with that I've never kept.
The fish in the 300 compliment each other nicely.
Completely off subject:
Do you still have the umbees? Surely lol.
I'd been hearing your name for some time now before running across you here.
Most umbee conversations have ended with someone telling me to get with Justin Holland. And thats an awesome thing ?
Man I hate to hear that. Ive done some research since my last post and figured it out. That's a tough go brother and I'm sorry bring up old stuff. Losing some fish are like losing a person. You definitely raised up a legend!Sad to say, i had to euthanize him about 6-7 months ago. Not exactly sure what it was that had happened, but he just stopped eating altogether. I tried so many methods of treatment to bring him around, with no positive effects. Once i noticed he was just withering away, I decided i didn't want to wait any longer. I kept his female for about 3 more months and sold her off.
Thanks for the mention Theos.dad
