Aquarist Notes

Genetic Line:   Aquarium Strain

Year Acquired:   2024

Acquired a group of 5 young F1 fish from Greg Gregory in February 2024. Placed them in a 28g custom 20"x20" footprint tank with plants and botanicals. Grew like crazy. These guys are voracious eaters and surprisingly tolerant of conspecifics.
