                  Nice Geral.
                  They get big and fiesty.
                  I love the yellow throat and d. blue / purple coloration the males get.

                  LOL Coung
                  The Poly - O - Don is the chump that killed my WC TX Ubwari.
                  My pride and joy.

                  They are very nice petros.
                  Great p/u geral
                  What else you planning on adding to your tank?
                  Keep them pics coming...

                        Pa, get something that you when you see a picture of it, or seen a variant in person and you just watch in awe and dont sip that brew for like a few mins; then I say thats the variant for you mane.
                        Or save up some beans and get a block of rare petros, or maybe even simochromis.
                        Its all up to you and what suits your fancy.
                        certain Petros to me are just awesome especially with their characteristics.
                        Thats why I want to get a bigger tank and build a pond in the very near future.
                        Put my normal Petros and my Pshyco Petros in there.

                          Nice pick up Geral. John's F1s grow up to be very colorful fish. 24 is a nice number too, minimal risk of aggression

                            5-canary cheek
                            6-ikola and canary cheek
                            125 gal-P. Kachase,simochromis, vampire pleco,bn pleco,bulldog pleco

                            55 gal- Ilangis ,clown pleco,abn pleco,rubber lip pleco

                              Polyodons and Green Macros will look awesome, but will require a 7ft 210gal tank in about 18 - 24 months.
