I've been out for a while because of family things. My pasionis and robertsoni have really been growing. The pasionis have been growing very fast, much faster than the mixteco. I think I may even have a pasionis pair. I may add them to the 150g soon.

Their faces are adorable! That's a really cool looking log too.

Great looking fish. How is pasionis agression level compared to most thorichthys? Love the look of them but heard they can have a bit of an agression issue

Pasionis are very peaceful. They seem less aggressive than meeki even. They do very well in groups. I have 6 right now. I'm going to add they to my 150g with 4 meeki, 3 mixteco blue, 3 robertsoni and 1 rostratum. Sort of a NA/CA eartheater tank.

Very nice Steve.
Always like the fish you keep and they all look great.

Thanks Darren! I'm amazed how well these guys are doing in a 36g tank. The lone mixteco blue seems to have become part of the group with no aggression. He also is not growing as fast as the other two in the 150g, which was expected.

Got a few pics of the robertsoni. These guys have grown-maybe 2" now. It's so hard to get good pics of them. They move so fast.
