Very nice. I've wanted those for a long time but my water here is hard as a rock!

My water is below pH6 but I bumped it up to pH7.6 to match the water they came in. They don't look uncomfortable at all. Will lower it in the next few days with water changes and see what happens...
 
For some reason I had never noticed how awesome the dorsal fins on these guys are up until now, they definitely have the mohawk look going

Yep. Gives them a tough look :) They are pushing the angels around already so I guess they won't need dithers for long.

Looking really healthy and happy, Peter!

Never kept these guys but regular Uaru LOVE lettuce...

Matt

Thanks Matt! These do too. They get 4 leaves a day - 2 in the morning and 2 at night. Problem is the green poop.....then green water :ROFL: Reminds me of the pearsei I used to keep...
 
You will definitely see lots of green poop, and it tends to break up and float all around. :(

I love the finnage on the ferns. It's very tall and long compared to amphs and it gives them a much more fluid, graceful appearance when they cruise around the tank. The top edge of the dorsal and the eyes should also turn red which is a cool contrast to the black and white color.
 
Another update - their pelvic and anal fins and bellies seem to turn more black when they see me holding a bag of blood worms. I guess they are in a good mood :D
