  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Wow he is a stunner.

He is gorgeous!

Love the Mexican river tank too.

Thanks guys, I agree that panamensis is one of my favorite fish I've kept
And the "Mexican river" is kind of just a Mexican tank now that Im not doing that rocky hardscape, can keep calling it that though lmao
 
Got a new video of the panamensis and his home. He is living at my parents' house now, which explains the random assortment of tankmates (would have stuck to swordtails myself).
Have a vague goal of setting up a 6' tank in a couple years and keeping all of the centrals I have grown out together. This guy will probably stay here until that happens.


Will have to get a video up of my thoricthys and theraps tank next. happy new years to everyone reading!
 
He really is a stunner. How come you moved him.
Thanks Dan! Didn't want to move to DC with fish, but didn't want to get rid of this guy. I was leaving the 45 running with my pops, so it worked out that he could stay in NJ. Also wanted some new fish, and didn't think he would work with the thoricthys and theraps in the 50g I have them in. But I think in like a 180+ with lots of cover, they could probably all be fine together, that's my hope anyway

Just dropping a quick update photo of my male panamensis. I don't usually name my fish, but I've been calling this guy "big boy" for a while now. He's about 6" long and chunky. I think I've had him for about 3 years.
