    They look great Jacklyn !! I like how they are starting to color up, please keep us updated with more pictures I got my first wilds(1male and 1 female) yesterday, they are in quarantine tank 40 gallon planted. They started eating bloodworms this morning and also chasing cherry shrimps - Yes I have about a 100 cherry shrimps in that tank lol. I wasn't prepared to buying these guys I randomly bought them and I have a 40 gallon tank cycled and ready so currently they are housed in that tank.

    update:

    last sunday, I added the new cuipeau's to the main tank. So far everything is going well. They are smaller than my greens, but I knew they would be. My husband kept saying they would be bigger but that's because he was looking at them in a 30gal qt tank and they looked ginormous while in there. They are about the size of my small female green. They are really great, sometimes it is hard to tell them apart when the lighting is in sunrise mode because it doesn't highlight their oranges/reds. They still eat from my hand, and one of the greens has joined in on eating from my hand also. Their personable and less skittish attitudes seem to have rubbed off on my greens, which have always been a little skittish and held back. No more eggs since introducing them, lots of mild aggression as the sorting out of the hierarchy has resumed. None of my males are flirting with the two new cuipeaus yet but I still have hope that they are female. Some pictures from bfast time. Note the cuipeaus show bar strongly at feeding time, they are very voracious eaters.

    Thanks for the kind words. The two newer fish are doing great, actually they are highest on the totem pole in the tank higher thank the four green tefes somehow. I will try to get some updated pictures soon.

    finally, some updated pictures of the two cuipeaus I bought from Mark in july. Disregard the bar showing, this is during breakfast and stress is heightened

    Love those greens. Wild Greens to me tend to have a little bit different body shape then the others. Anyone else knows that? Almost like the forehead is very round and pronounced. The base colors of them are also unique to me because at certain lights during some of their moods they almost appear some sort of purple at times. Like a different sort of yellow that then blends into almost a purple base pattern underneath the stripes. I really like your greens! Hell, I really like all of your discus!
