Trio Tapajos 1 Pikes

[mrrobxc]

I've detailed the planning on my 189 that I decided to turn into a Rio Tapajos biotope and noticed when I came home from work my trio of Crenicichla Tapajos 1's were out and about so I snapped a quick video. I love these guys. My second favorite after the Zebrina when it comes to pikes. Their movements and behavior are so fascinating. They remind me of my Xingu Orange Pikes from the 90's and they are definitely more akin to them than the other lugubris pikes out there.
