Yea, if I'm not mistaken these are thought to be a variant of brasiliensis. They are all grouped together in the 'brasiliensis complex'. This includes however many variants of brasiliensis there are, iporangensis, sp. "Red Bahia" and probably others.OddBallKeeper;4948516; said:
Neither was I before too long ago. These guys are a good compromise since they are more aggressive than most eartheaters, occupy the middle and top of the water column as will as the bottom, and have great coloration. I guess, in short, I would compare them to an acara in habit.DanG13;4949016; said:
Came home from work today and saw the female and male staking claim to big flower pot on one side of their tank. Upon further inspection I noticed a single string of about 10 eggs- she had just started laying! I started to film the action but all of the fish in this crowded 220 came over, hogging the attention and distracting the pair. I had to put away the camera and observed from afar but not before catching this quick snapshot.
There are now a good amount of eggs. They're having a hell of a time defending this prime piece if real estate from the regani, synspilum, rhytisma, notatus and carpintis that share the tank with them so in a few hours I'll move them and their eggs into a 30 gallon. Who knows, if I'm not too lazy to stay on top of them I may be able to raise a batch of these guys. Ugh, waterchanges and teeny tiny food!

I am about to give up on mine and trade them in. Only 4-5 specs of blue. Check them out;
