The many colors of Australoheros n. sp. "Red Ceibal"

[peathenster]

Young adults (I guess) in non-breeding color... still recovering but start to show some nice colors.

Sorry for the blurry pics - they are still learning to stay still

Tankmates:

Australoheros cf scitulus "Zanja Honda"

Satanoperca daemon

Cichlasoma dimerus

Very nice. Any breeding signs yet?

 

[peathenster]

I think they are just starting to notice the existence of each other, and are getting darker in color, but no obvious signs yet. Maybe I can pack some size into them first
