What type of severum?

JD....listen to me....you are tired....very tired....you don't have room for them....ship them to me....tired....

I do feel a little sleepy now that you mention it. I just sold some fish though, so I have plenty of room!!!

I tell you what. You send me your atabapo pair and if they are to my satisfaction I'll think about sending you my wild efaciatus. Or maybe I'll send you a bag of random fry. Plenty of those to go around.

Hey Craig - do you know what this is? It's labelled Heros brazil....

I cant say i do to be honest. Its something a little differant.

Obviously H.Efasciatus.... but not a clue on catch location. I'd have plumbed for somewhere near the Rio Negro... but it could be anywhere.

Brings me back onto Heros naming quite nicely actually
In the UK, we're pretty much naming every cichlid thats coming into the country with its catch location. Makes it easier to keep a track on where your fish are from over stuff like "Red spotted", "Red Masked / Blue" and "BlueGelb" (these are other names that crop up, and mean next to nothing to the decerning fish keeper)

Prime example above. Heros sp. "Brazil" doesn't give a massive clue does it

Lets see if i can fish up some photos of my rarities for you boys. Seems like you'll like them.

H.Severus sp "Orinoco" - Male

H.Severus sp "orinoco" - Female

H.Notatus - Male

(only a baby when that was taken, bit nicer now)

H.Notatus - Female (we think...)

And, a few cheeky photos i like (as you can tell, im not the best photographer )

Enjoy lads

How very dare you!... Their all top shelf

Heres Sp "Belem" (thanks to paul from the Bolton (proper Bolton might i add, the first, englsih one ) aqurium for the photo)

That pic, was it from aquarist-classifieds?

Either way I can tell you all that they do the fish absolutely No justice at all!!!

I have 10 of these beauty's that Paul mailed to me and the colour changes they go through are out of this world. Mine are only about 4-5" at the moment but they really are something special to look at.

As soon as I have time to snap them (and clean the tank so it's spotless) I'll post some pics of them. Wednesday should be good as I'm off work.

Edit... I just got a few They're big and I don't have time to re-size them.. Sorry.

Oh and they're not all of the same fish. They really do change direction and colour at the same time.. The ones that look different are Atabapo
