are they less aggressive?

Gorgeous fish and tanks. I wish I could get any of my tanks to looks even 1/4 that good! Are they better at leaving plants alone then the saums are?

Thanks lol. In my opinion, neither are any worse than the other. My little ones pretty much ignore them, but my big guys will uproot plants in the substrate, hence mostly the hardy, attachable plants in their tanks.

By the way, I love your Riv. Beautiful specimen...

You mean than Rivulatus? I would have to say it depends, really. Most people who obtain these fish are getting wild caught specimens or fish not far removed from the wild. So in that regard I would say they aren't any more aggressive than other wild Rivulatus I've seen. Are they more aggressive than most captive bred fish? You bet lol

Thank you, he is my baby. Lol
Ok, that’s the same experience I’ve had with these guys. My male is very hard on plants. Although, I haven’t tried a lot.

I never see stalsbergi for sale around here.

Yeah, they're made available every couple years as TUIC or COTA imports them in. They never stay around very long
