Been a month...they are doing well and fattening up :)

Very interesting fish. A bit more active than the other Satanoperca species I kept, and more colorful than I thought. The yellow on the pelvic fins and the purple/pink on the anal/dorsal/caudal fins look somewhat strange :)

Tanks mates in the 90g: Geophagus dicrozoster, Geophagus winemilleri and a few angels.

Acuticeps is a really awesome eartheater! I am truly jealous! Thanks for sharing.
 
Wow, they look great. I love the winemilleri and the blue angel. What kind of angel is that (I know nothing about angels).

Thanks:). The blue ones are pinoy blue zebras (D/+ - Z/+ - pb/pb) and the white ones are platinum blues (g/g pb/pb).
 
i love the little squiggle under the dicrozoster eye :cool: the acuticeps look pretty cool. the shape of their head sets them apart from other Satanoperca. you still have the apistos in there too?
 
Rare Satanopperca... *sigh*

Tank and stock look great Peter. I even like the angels. Happy for you.
 
They look amazing Peathenster! Nice!

One question though, don't you think theire colors would "pop" more on a brown/darker substrate? Mine did when i switched from really light sand to brown sand
