Heres a few shots of the guys I got from him a few months ago. One of them is turning out to be unbelievable. The big colorful one eats mostly massivore and sinking carnivore, the other 2 wont take pellets yet but love market shrimp and tilapia. Keep in mind these guys are barely 4", if even that.

This is the post I made the day I got them

Peru Monos are my Favorite cichla. Even out of all the Azuls and Xingu and Kelberi, a true WC Peru mono just does it for me. Heres a pic of the guy I lost awhile back that looked alot like the guy above did at the same size. He was a beautiful fish to watch. Almost always in full flare, but never violent to his tank mates. I miss him alot lol :irked:

They might not even be 4 inches...seriously. Ive found a trick to getting them onto pellets / frozen. Gotta start them when they are 2.5" or so, and mix in bits of crushed massivore with frozen bloodworms and let them soak till they are a little soft. The color of the massivore and the bloodworms are about the same, and the flavor of the massivore mixes with the bloodworms. When they take the bloodworms they also take in a little massivore. They learn the flavor that way, and accept it. These guys have NEVER eaten live since ive had them.
 
They look great venom. Your last mono was sweet. John is definitley the first vendor I talk to when I am ready to order. Great prices, great shipping and all around good service.

Absolutely. There might be other vendors that get the more hard to find stuff but you just cant beat his prices and customer service. Most reasonable shipping prices ive seen and the packing is as pro as it gets.
 
I saw these pictures first on my phone and then was surfing the internet on my tv. Those guys look awesome on a bigger screen. You really scored with these bad boys.
