Blue Banded Bushfish and Orange Bushfish.
I'm going back tomorrow to get the other male and see if they still have the orange one.

They seem to be rather peaceful with everything so far. The males display at each other and go at it a little, but nothing too harsh.
I feed shrimp pellets, aquarian flake, fd tubifex, and algae wafers to the tank, so they get whatever they want of that. Last night I dropped a little piece of market shrimp (was on my way to feed marble sleeper goby and RTC) in to see what they'd do with it. They went at it right away. They'd bite it then shake their heads to break off a little piece.
Cool -- I guess you can take the Leaf out of the Jungle, but you can't take the Jungle out of the Leaf. 
Very cool find. How shy are these guys? I'd thought I'd read they were pretty outgoing which is rare for most of the family.
Is that true?

They don't seem to be bothered by much. They aren't belligerent toward other fish or anything. Just kinda hang out with each other. The males bully each other a little and display.
I may have found a source for these and for some other ctenopoma if anyone is interested. Just waiting on a new list to see what's available.
