Cincelichthys pearsei vs bocourti

Also, the Lyonsi is the best fish I think I’ve ever kept. If you can get your hands on 6 or so of them, I’d do that and only that. They have the look and the personality of a fish that’s worth keeping. That’s just my two cents though, to each their own.

I'm warming to this idea. I was considering maybe trying to mix them with Oscura heterospila.

oscura grow very slowly-
Mine are just about 3-4” after a year. My Pearsei went from 6-12” in under a year.
Mine had little personality but I liked the fish much like my bay snook I regret selling them

I have a question if you don't mind - do you know if your Oscura eat plants?

Looking at more fish, and I saw the Amph Lyonsi ... it's kind of like a bocourti but with more reds. Hmmmm .... I don't know how anyone ever decides what fish to get. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Too many to choose!! Always want more lol ‍

They will if given the opportunity-
Haven’t nibbled in Anubias.
They are of the vieja Clase with means vegetarian leaning omnivores
