I also received a group of five breeding-sized Australoheros red ceibals, which until a couple weeks ago I'd never even heard of. They're a relatively new/unknown species to the hobby from my understanding. I became aware of them through a member's post on another site with pictures of his breeding pair...they're absolutely STUNNING when in breeding dress. I decided I HAD to have some eventually, and prepared myself for a long and tedious, and expensive! search for them. But a "friend" from a few local sites happened to be on this one as well, saw my post, and told me he had a bunch of them if I wanted some. So just a couple weeks later, I have a group of them! Here they are adjusting to their new tank.








A glimpse of what's to come when they start breeding (appearance)


And this is what they'll look like when in breeding dress - the thread that made me obsessed ;)

They certainly look it...to be honest, I really don't know too much about them. It's hard to find information on them, they practically don't exist. Apparently they get very, very aggressive when they've paired off and started breeding.

Come on Bob, no need to post crap like that.


Those are a neat and interesting fish. The juvies def look similar to the dwarf acara's, but the adults certainly look different. You should be able to spot adults of these guys a mile away with a face like that ;)
