Very cool! I've been looking for some nice firemouths for my 125 gallon. I was thinking about other Thorichthys too.

I, too, am a big fan. I have a breeding pair of Thorichthys meeki in a 4' x 1' x 18" tank and I recently got hold of 6 juvenile Thorichthys maculipinnis for my 450 litre bow-fronted tank. I'm hoping for a pair or two from them:

Very pretty fish ! I had two of them at one point and rehomed them because they were a little to aggressive for the tank mates. I wouldn't mind owning some again .

Currently I have mixteco golds, and ellioti/maculipinnis that are 2-3"
I have 1-2 " socolofi and affinis , and 1" aureus . With any luck I will have some pasiones in the next couple weeks . I still want to find some callolepis , and the other three mixteco types

Not great photos, but here's my pair of Thorichthys meeki when they spawned in January. . .

I was able to pick up six 2-3 inch Thorichthys aureus ' red ' tonight at the LFS . Anyone know where the ' reds ' are coming from ? I'm not sure if they are sand sifters or not but I put them on PFS with my A. robertsoni and A. rostratums .

 

[conoholic]

sadly no. dont have a camra anymore.

 

[Riceburner]

[Bamboo]

Which species are those Riceburner ... they are *cute* .

Hopefully I can start getting som e pictures of my Thorichthys collection soon.
I currently have 2 adult pairs of T sp"mixteco gold
5 juvie T aureus "rio copan"
5 sub adult T socolofi " rio bascan"
1 pair of adult T meeki ( and 2 juvies )
4 sub adult T maculipinnis
a bunch of juvie T maculipinnis ( a different strain)

and on the way I have 6 pasiones,8 helleri , and 8 mixteco blues

only a few more species left to go and I can call my Thorichthys collection good enough , and move onto Aequidens, Archocentrus, and Cryptoheros LOL

 

[Rubin85]
