Here's a video I just took tonight of my mixteco blues. And Stannnzz..I'ma need you to send me some of those helleri. and anyone with aureus, would love some of those too

I hope my mixtecos turn out as nice as yours. They are taking forever to grow.

How about pasionis? I'm hoping to get a pair or two.

My aureus blue decided to lay eggs tonite. Too bad she's in a tank full of severums and other CA/SA cichlids. Looks like it's time to find her a mate.

Some that fall into the fish I should have kept category.

Thanks. what are you feeding yours and how often are you doing water changes? Mine actually seem to be growing decently fast...at least compared to what I'd have expected. For comparison, I got these I believe in October and the largest was no more than 2". That's the big guy that's the main focus of the video and now I'd say he's at least 3.5".

I feed NLS Thera a+ once a day now. I have 2 in the 150g and one in a 36g bow front. I do 2 water changes once a week on the 150g and one on the 36g. This regiment seems to be keeping nitrates low.
But the guy who gave me these fish feeds his twice a day. Usually I see a lot of growth after moving fish to the 150g, but not this time. The growth has been the same in the two tanks.
My pasionis who were smaller or about the same size have grown much faster and are already bigger. They are in the 36g soon to be moved to the 150g.

This guy is amazing. How long did it take for him to get to that size?

Here's a more dominant female aureus.



My LFS has a nice meeki that I've been eye balling over the last few weeks. I'm really want it but don't have anywhere to keep it.

She's beautiful. Love the blue.

Do you have pics of the others?
