Finally got some update shots of my male!! He killed the female a few weeks after being in the tank. I'm not upset it happens. He is perfect fine with the 2 cichla intermedia that are with him, Just did not like the female for whatever reason. He's roughly around 6" give or take.

I also bought some rio hondo carpintis, from Dan I wanted a pair so I bought 8 from him at around 2". There colors are outstanding. I've gotten the pair and I've sold the rest. I'll post some pics when I get a chance. Have yours spawn for you?

Sorry bro didn't read the whole tread were you said the male killed the female. Was looking more at pics on the color your male has.

Just found my 2" Rio Hondo dead last night for no apparant reason. Water parameters good, other fish all happy and healthy. Pretty pissed, I was excited to see how he turned out and he had a cool attitude.

I've had pretty bad luck with Carpintis, too. I've had 2 of them die on me.
