    Default Pat's Wild Cuipeua Collection

    I have had these fish almost a week. I got them from Mark (Discus Origins) latest shipment from WBSabby. There are seven Cuipeua and two Tefe. The Cuipeua have turned very red since I bought them home. Way redder then I expected. The fish are redder to the eye then I can capture with the camera.

    Stunning is to say the least.
    Difficult to pick a favorite and only after one week...the potential is endless at this point.

    I uploaded this video last night and tried to save it with a music clip several times but YouTube kept returning an error. So please enjoy the bubble music . As you can see they get rather feisty at feeding time.

    Pat, these fish are beautiful. I do not know what it is about the cuipeua but I think they remind me a little of a pigeon blood. do these not sho bar? I see they have a slight halo but not as dark as a tefe. yours look very happy. this tank doesn't seem to have the dark tannins like your altum tank??

    Thanks Jacklyn, yes, these guys will totally show bars and the halo can get as dark as the Tefes. I need to replenish the tea.
