I got small group of 1.5" Cara Pintadas. They stay in tank with adult Bolivian Ram. So far I noticed that Ram was chasing them when I was serving food but recently the biggest of youngsters is really attacking Ram. It is 10 times smaller :twisted:

I think more than the aggressiveness, the name Apache was taken because of the painted face. This fish also goes by the name A.sp."Masken". I think that you just have a particularly mean :evil: Cara Pintada.

I guess, they are still too small, I might have a pair of Cara Pintadas. They stay together, fight monster (I mean Ram :lol: ) together, and also chase all others of their kind.
