F0 Rio Tempisque barred citrenellus

Outside of TUIC I don't think there are many pictures of these guys so I thought I'd share some. I ordered 5 from Rapps about a month before AM2 at the smallest size he had. The dominant male is around 4" now and finally displaying color. He was the least colorful one but has started to show up over the last week or so. I think he may be trying to pair off with my creamsicle so I will have to do some rearranging :/

I won't forget Matt :)

How big are yours Jon? I really hope we both get breeding pairs from our groups. A couple days ago when I e-mailed Jeff he noted that his friend/connection for Costa Rica retired so that was the end of the Costa Rica imports. I also happened to pick up some 'Rio Banano' Loisellei from his last import.

My biggest is around 4". The other three are between 2" and 3". Size wise, I would say I have 2 males and 2 females, but too hard to tell at this size. I got them the same time as you. Hoping for a pair and an extra female (just in case).

I wasn't until recently... for some reason lately, I've really began to get into them recently. I've always really liked lyonsi... one of my favorites... but I'm getting into creamsicles and barred midas now too. Weird, but hey... I go where the hobby takes me! LOL...

Not big fan of amphs other than lyonsi but those look nice. Love the colors in the fins

You know I wasn't a fan of amphs to begin with and then amph fever hit me. lol. After I move I want to collect and them all but some look pretty hard to come by..

I was thinking that especially after what Jeff said about his connection. I do have the other 4 and i was actually going to try to get a pair within that group because they were all more colorful. But it does up the chances having this guy in the mix. Ill take the creamsicle out for a while

Use them as feeders. No harm done there but I wouldn't give them away as feeders never know some may survive the slaughter!

Well they would still be pure citrenellus but i guess some barred, some cream and some normal? Not sure what the dominant genes there are. I do want to continue the rio tempsique line like Jon mentioned though.

It would be cool to get some creamsicle offspring though :p
