Here's an unusual photo of the H. Labridens "Yellow". NOT so yellow here. I sent the photo to Juan Miquel Artigas from the Cichlid Room Companion. In the wild this is a color dominant labridens will assume. The catch here is that this is a female labridens. Juan said that this is the first he has seen a female obtain dominant coloration...but wasn't surprised that it happened in the aquarium....as females can become quite dominant in an aquarium setting. He said that females never obtain this coloration in the wild. What amazes me is that she will obtain this coloration in what seems like seconds.
Here's the male again.
I take LOTS of photos of this fish...this is just left over from the last session. I was cleaning up memory cards and like this shot of the P. zonatus.
I have this F0 A. robertsoni "Red Cheek" from Rio Jutiapa, Honduras along with some other fish in one of the 300 gallon grow out tanks. You can see how the fish gets the distinction of "red cheek".
Here's the fish again up next to A. nourisati....with the ever present background of Metynsis dithers. The Robertsoni is around 8" to give you some perspective on the size of the Silver Dollars.
As I have stated many times in the past, I have over a hundred different Metnsis and Mylosoma type fish throughout the various aquariums. Here's one of the more unusual and rare of the fish...Metynsis schomburgki...the black-barred silver dollar. I bought two of these at the ACA convention last year. Only this one lived. I would love to find more.
