Sailfin tetras

[bogman]

Hi, does anyone keep these fish, Crenuchus spilurus, I had been on the lookout for them for a while and just picked up some about a month ago, a beautiful and interesting fish, the males are something else to look at.
they have filled out since i got them, all scratches, scrapes and damaged fins have healed and they are now coloring up nicely.
here are a couple of pictures of them to tempt ye to try them
a female

and a male, not showing it's fins to their best in this pic, i will try take another one and post it, but you should get the idea

Hi all,
I haven't kept them, but there were some threads about them on Apistogramma forums <http://www.apistogramma.com/forum/index.php?threads/crenuchus-spilurus.11089/>.

I can put you in touch with Steve if you wish.

cheers Darrel

They look great and have such interesting behaviour for a tetra, another one to keep some time!
