Cichlids from México

Sorry Willem....
@Michael: I'd say it's the same species. Where is it from?
Cheers, m

Thanks Michi,

I have them from a shop they where labeled as Astyanax bimaculatus, That was the only thing i know about them. They are also older than the fish in the first picture.

Sorry Willem, Yes, talk about Cichlids on a cichlidforum is also a good idea And your movie is amazing

Let's talk cichlids again. All these bloody Astyanax ever did was bite me and tear off the hair from my legs.

Hehe, sorry for OT, but it was interesting. Anyway the ciklids in the movie are really fantastic! I need more tanks!

Hi Michael,
in that case is might be a SA species. While the Astyanax from MX are pretty easy to keep apart, that is not necessarily true for the SA species (or even the ones from southern CA). E.g., I have a hard time keeping apart A. aeneus and A. nasutus. If that thing is from SA, I'd take my opinion with much caution!

Hi MIchi!
Aeneus are quite aggressive with your back and legs , expecially in misol-ha, cenote escondido and rio lacantun.
Altior never bite me. SA are much more fragile and they die or simulate death when you catch them. Never seen in mexicans.
