Mench,
Not sure on age as it's wild caught.
I bought it from a guy 25 miles away from where I live over here in the UK.

Nice shaped fish!
How long have they been in your tank?
Heckels take longer to settle and show their best colours.
Your fish seem to have a red base colour,do you now where they where caught?
Are the fish in the background Tefe Greens?

those pics r taken less than a week in my tank. had them for 8 wks.
but to my knowledge, the fish has already been quarantined for a mnth before i got them. i think its from brazil... not sure where exactly though
yes, it has reddish back ground n the 'bar' is starting to show up more esp when hungry! i find my heckels have a better body shape than my greens.
those at the back r peruvian greens.... have 9 of them
