Title: Cryptoheros nanoluteus pair from MCA Late Spring Auction
Post by: linuxrulesusa on May 06, 2013, 10:28:15 PM
Well, I think it was worth the wait (started looking for these back in August 2012).

I finally got a pair of nanoluteus, and, my interest in Cryptoheros species has definitely been revived.  Now, to persuade my wife they are much nicer than our pink convicts so I have room to grow out fry down the road.  ;)

Here's a couple more pics of the pair.  They are in a 24x12 15g long tank for now with some assorted fake plants and lots of misc filters I'm trying to keep active in the event I need them to replace a few more HOBs...to eke a few more dollars off the electricity bill.  I may put some sand in there later for them to dig around in plus another cave or two.

Good Luck on the nanoluteus.  Would be nice to see more of them in the hobby.  My 4 are still young but appear to be all females.
