ctecopoma acutirostre
Just got one :headbang2 :woot: :headbang2
really fast little bugger and he looks really impressive. any body else got one?
ill post pics later
 
holy hell!
i just found this guy listed for 40 bucks! i bought him for 8!
the guy at the store had no idea what the fish even was
 
They are great fish, not super aggressive or hard to keep, good looking and almost bullet proof. Great deal. :thumbsup:
 
Yeah, they are all imported, so still expensive. I've got a few. Check out the other ctenopomas too.
 
still cant believe i got him for 8 bucks!
 
i got one... there's a pic in my gallery... i love those things. mine isnt very fast as you say yours is, but he's wicked smart. i feed my fish guppies and ghost shrimp on occasion, (not very often), and he will spot the food, then go vertical with his nose down, and sort of floats toward the prey. when he's directly above them doing his dead leaf impression he slowly creeps down and inhales it. the guppies and ghost shrimp dont seem to have the slightest clue and almost never swim away. very interesting fish. if anybody knows, why do they have the little spikes near their gills? or whatever they are.
 
I keep a pair with a pair of Gachua and a pair of delhezi.

My male Ct is a scrapper he fights my male gachua for a cave
all the time. He has spikes on dorsal/anal fin and the tips turn
white when he is aggro.
