So my long distance friend from here Mike (Pitbull) had various species of Thorichthys. When I was still a kid I always wanted one but as I got older I got more into the bigger badder cichlids like the Jaguar Cichlid (Parachromis managuense), Oscars, RTM's (Parachromis motaguense) which I still own one a male from Rio Blanco but this thread isn't about him.
Well I got interested into them again and after debating whether or not I wanted them I decided yes I did. I found T. pasionis and T. maculipinnis on aquabid being sold by WetSpot. I bought them 6 each and they came in good health. This was sometime last year. I sadly never took pictures till today. I also just got in today some T. meeki and T. sp. 'Gold Mixteco' from Jeff Rapps. The two species I got from WetSpot are in my 135 gallon. I got 2 males and 4 females of T. pasionis the T. maculipinnis are still on the small size. The two I got from Jeff Rapps are in quarantine in a 53 gallon of which I got 4 of each species. They are mixed right now and they both look the same but will be easily identify-able when there bigger.
