Ahhh yes I've been trying to get pictures... I almost never buy pikes without seeing pics... I have a feeling they are gonna be Johanna or some other common lugubris instead. However if they aren't I might have to just get a bunch

Yep juvie atabapo II. I'm gonna get a group to grow out for fun, atabapo II seem to do well in groups. My big male was a bit antisocial but his mate died right before I got him.

I was hoping they would be A1's but I guess that was hoping for too much lol, I'll probably pass on these.
 
Why are we assuming atabapo 2? Are there other pics somewhere? I would imagine 2's would cost a lot more than 15 bucks. 1's are captive bred hence their relatively low price.
 
Never mind. Saw the pics in the vendor forum. Hmmmm.....I'm tempted.

mrrobxc mrrobxc atabapo I and atabapo II have both been captive Bred. However it doesn't affect the price because captive bred atabapo I have basically never been sold because it has only happened once or twice and no fry survived.

Atabapo I are more expensive 95% of the time but I'm still buying the IIs never had more than one in my tank I bet they'll coexist if I get a good sized group. I'm calling them tomorrow and placing my order
