Hello everyone.
Today I picked up 4 wild caught heckels labelled as ‘Novo Airão’ when I try and do a search for this on google not many sources come out. If anyone has any information about this catch locale (from what I understand Novo Airão is a municipality inside Amazonas?) and no an actual river? Correct me if I am wrong. I would also love to see any photos/ videos anyone may have if they have these heckels.
I have so far noticed one is more red compared to the others but I’m unsure if that is just stress colouration.
They are currently in a 25G quarantine tank and will be receiving daily water changes. They range in size from 4-4.5 inches (including tail) and once they have passed their quarantine I hope to put them in with my group of 5 Rio Tefe that currently range in size from 5-6inches (including tail) if I had to guess.
Please excuse the dark stained water in the video it’s from rooibos to make them feel a little more comfortable.
