Wild Peruvian Juvies

[Cichlidgeek]

Brought home a dozen juvie Peruvian wild C. monoculus yesterday. Probably Rio Nanay stock, which may be nothing special, but I don't care....I haven't had Peruvian C. monoculus in many years so it will be a lot of fun to grow them up and see what they turn into. They are usually pleasant looking as adults and will be good potential breeders next year.

Yes, several water changes and several feedings. These I will try to get off of live pretty quickly. The Kelberi and others that I have I will feed only live to. As for time, just do it man. No excuses. Just get the job done.
