    New Wild Greens from Rio Mutum

    Hi all

    These guys have been in my tank since New Years Day. I've heard it can take Wilds several months to show their full beauty, as it takes time for them to settle into life in captivity. So, I'm hopeful they'll blossom in the coming months.

    They were imported from Glasser Germany by Aqua Pets @ Bondi Junction. Glasser called them Semi Royal Wild Greens and identified their collection location as Rio Mutum.

    Their health is wonderful and eating has never been a problem. If they are at risk of anything - it's of knocking themselves out when they're startled .... which is often .... still scared, but getting better.

    Slow movements ..... nothing sudden ..... they're still expecting predators around the corner I guess

    Pictures are pretty poor, but what else is new. Some have good red spotting ..... some not as good but still beautiful in their own way ..... the pictures are having trouble picking up any of the red spots

    When these greens want to disappear, they can make the tank seem empty by hiding themselves, almost completely, behind this piece of wood !

    Hi Robyn,

    Beautiful fish, any chance of a full tank shot? I'd like to see how your slimline backing looks now that it is in and in use.

    Would love the opportunity to access something similar.

    Regards,

    Bob

    Thanks everyone, for the nice comments.

    Bob, I'm holding off on the full tank shot until I've got the driftwood & a few plants sorted .... for sure I will post shots soon.
