Out of the four I got from Dan, these two seem to have paired off. One other fish is still in the tank behind a divider and I moved the other to another tank. Looking at them today, it seems her tube is dropping and she looks a bit heavy. Not the best video.
Amphilophus Lyonsi (cota)
- Thread starter robham777
- Start date
They are doing ok, one is very dominant and divided on one side of the tank. The other three are pretty calm together but one seems to be getting bullied a little bit so I will be moving that one. I assume the largest is a male, but am not sure about the others yet.
Great looking lyonsi. Hope they breed for you. I had one from dan that I lost to parasites. shame, I really liked that fish
I hope so too. They are turning out to be some of my all time favorite fish that I have kept. The look, attitude, and manageable size make these guys a really good choice of fish imo.
Very nice. These are overlooked, but they are really cool fish. Remind me of small trimacs
That is exactly what got me looking at them. I wanted a tri mac pair, but I also wanted a dovii and had to be realistic about how much space I have for large tanks. I also love umbee's but will probably compromise there and pick up some myersi or kraussi. It's just not possible to keep everything I would like to.
Very over looked. IMO is because they lack the personality like the other amps.
Not enough credit is given to how fantastic they are.
