After a collecting trip I brought a new guys to my aquariums, there three new species Theraps lentiginosus from Río Puyacatengo (Chiapas), Thorichthys helleri from Río Corso (Chiapas) and Thorichthys passionis from Río Carrizales (Tabasco), I can say that the Theraps are a very adaptable cichlids, they only needed 1 day to start to eat, the Thorichthys were more fussy, specially T. passionis, but little by little they start to adapt to they new enviroment.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I



























Paco.

Very cool pics. I'd like to own some lentiginosus. I've read they're sensitive fish. Any issues with yours?
Well, until now they are ok, but they are with me since less than 1 month, so I expect that they do it well, I have given to them many spiruline and less of other kind of food.
