    I just got 7 1.5-2" Australoheros oblongum today from a guy in the US. They are a cool water fish so shipping was not a problem and they arrived in fine shape.

    These guys are also called "Chameleon" cichlids and go from light to dark alot.

    I will get a pair or two and then sell the rest in a few months.

    Here are the parents

    They are supposed to be pretty mellow. They may become aggressive towards their own kind. The males only get about 5" and females 4". They do not require a heater as they come from very south, south america. I have barbs and corys with them so keep the tank at 72*. I will keep y'all posted as they grow up.

    The finnage on the fish are cool. Figured I would take a peek at some of the photos I have not really seen yet. I can see why you keep these fish between colors and finnage!
