In the last year or so wild Grammodes have become available, who has some and what are they like. I'm only interested in the wild Grammodes experiences in this thread. Pictures would be nice.
 
Great color is one major difference between wilds and captive breed they also tend to grow a little faster and are usually more aggressive
 
With all the advertisement of wild Grammodes out there I know someone on this site has some please share your experiences good, bad, or the normal.
 
I've had a breeding pair of grammodes bought as fry from at the ACA in Wisconsin. Other than when protecting their fry, or making a quick dash to the surface for food, they are invisible. Dithers are killed over night. When I got them there were 6, saved one other, but they are merciless eradicators of anything that ventures into their territory.

Is this from actual experience or just that you think wilds are more colorful? This is often the exact opposite. Wilds more times then not are less colorful, slower growing, and while maybe more aggressive they are often extremely skittish and shy.
 
My experiences with Grammodes have more often than not resulted in the group co-habitating OK until the largest fish (male) reaches about 4-5"...and starts killing the others a couple at a time. Dividers are needed for breeding.

They're also quite skittish...

I also saw these "wild grammodes" for sale, and I was wondering if anybody has any of them so I could compare them to "rapps" grammodes who I know from experience has beautiful ones. I am going to be ordering them on monday so I am defiantly curious.
