I went to my Mike's Killer Fish store last night and traded in my A. lyonsi (Beautiful Fish, pain in the rear!) and got a 7" Herichthys bocourti! He is in a the tank with my H. pearsi 13", a Hypselecara "Chocolate" temporalis 5", and 4-Heros efasciatus (1-5" Rotkiel, 1-5" gold, and 2-3" turquoise). Since I removed the A. lyonsi the "Chocolate" has mellowed considerably and is now Beautiful! When I put the bocourti in the tank I was witness to an amazing parade! ALL the fish followed him around the tank for a good 10 minutes. Enough of my musings... :dance2: I have not been able to find much reliable info on the H. bocourti and was wondering if someone here might be keeping this Beautiful species and would share some observations and practical info? This IS a MELLOW tank and everyone, sofar, seems to be getting along famously!

Pics?

That must be a site to see. I haven't raised them myself, but I wanted to ask for pics.

I'll try to get some photos posted by the weekend. I'm not the best photographer so don't expect perfection. ;)
