Cryptoheros Nanoluteus looking Great! Underrated Fish!

[DetroitSterlingHeights]

Nanoluteus might be the most underrated cichlid. I have multiple breeding pairs in a 135 w/ tons of other fish: Black Neons, Endless, Platys, Cherry Barbs, Danios, etc. and there is not a single messed up fin. They protect their babies, but w/out hurting other fish. They are just awesome and look beautiful in their breeding dress. The mom is usually the looker, but this dad is looking great as well.

Beautiful fish and setup. I take it they are pretty gentle on plants as well?

Beautiful Pair!! I'm growing out 7 at the moment. Fantastic species

I have them in w/ Val, dwarf sag and Amazon swords - have never seen them touch a plant. They don't dig much either - seem to prefer cave spawning

Awesome! Mine took a while to grow and they have smaller spawns than the other convicts - but once they get going they are hard to stop!

Mine were cave spawners as well. And as well didn't bother other fish nor plants.
