My Heros collection.

[exodus1500]

I made the same post last week, but it was while the site was having picture uploading problems, so I am redoing it

I keep mostly south american fish, and one of my favorites are heros(severums).

I am currently keeping:

Red and gold severums
Notatus
Efasciatus
Severus
Inirda
Liberifer

If anyone has ones, or knows of where to get more rare types let me know

Here is my breeding pair of Heros notatus. They have their own tank.

This is my breeding pair of Heros liberifer, and some of their fry.

And here are my newest guys to grow out. Heros sp. Inirida and Heros severus. Pics were taken on the first day I got them. The inirida have started getting a little bit of color already.

Awesome collection man! It’s great to see so many types under one banner.

Nice man. Was it interesting to watch the Liberifer as mouth brooders?

Thanks! I feel like heros are under appreciated, so I wanted to show the diversity

Ya, its pretty cool. Its funny when they fry don't actually want to go in. The parents try and be gentle but the fry just swim away like... "nope, busy!"

After the first few days they fry are generally out most of the time except when they are sleeping.

Grow out tank with Heros sp inirida.

Some of them have broken bands like Heros severus does.
