8" male Geophagus tapajos "orangehead"

I think that's just flushed from the trip and new environment

That could certainly be true - just something I noticed

Thanks Jamie! I feed them bloodworms every night after two meals of mixed pellets - hope they are not too spoiled

Has the German shipment come in yet?

I think Sean has a L114 for sale - did you talk to him? I had one for a while and it was the most beautiful pleco I've ever had...

I need to change my signature, I've decided to go a different route.

German shipment is at Marks facility and awaiting another Colombian and possible Belem shipment. Got a few nice species in the works

Great looking fish. One day I'll do a SA tank.

So, is Jamie male or female? I've got to ask, as I always keep an eye out for other guys named Jamie.

Don't procrastinate, SAs are great!!! You should try a Uruguay tank, lots of interesting species to choose from!

Thanks Ed. I'm trying to figure out how old she might be - she came in at 2-3" this Feb, so perhaps she's just about 1 year old....do these guys spawn in the wild in Sept???

I think the seasonal variation in the Rio Tapajós is 1-2º. So they probably spawn year round, with a possible inclination to the rainy season.

That could certainly be true - just something I noticed

I'll definitely pay more attention to it now that you've brought it up!

WHAT IS IT??? I still have 65 unread messages...

pellegrini?

 

[RexFish]

Thats amazing, great collection.

Did the german shipment have actual, true pellegrini???!??!?!?!?!?!?!?! It'll be the first time they've been imported into the US. Usually we get crassilabris labeled as pellegrini. I know some crazy german aquarists ran the coke farm gauntlet to retrieve some a few years ago.
