Good info MikeA. sp. "Ipiranga" is a barlowi-complex species from western Brazil. Other than A. sp. "Elzeniense", found near Manaus, this species is located farther east than any other now known barlowi-complex species. We know very little about Ipiranga, not even if it mouthbroods at times.
I'll do that when they get better established, they still have 3 days with me.Would love to see them in a week or so. Please do update!
Ah! Thanks for clarifying, Mike!A. sp. "Ipiranga" is a barlowi-complex species from western Brazil. Other than A. sp.

I don't have any information yet because they are new.Do you know what the target temperature of these fishes ? The only info i could find on the river suggest 75 to 78.
Their range is pretty much spot on the equator. Expect high numbers, rather than low ones.Do you know what the target temperature of these fishes ? The only info i could find on the river suggest 75 to 78.
The couple I have is not aggressive, they paired up quickly, I was luckyHow aggressive are your Ipiranga? I put a juvenile pair in a 40G breeder with a good amount of wood, leaf litter, and botanicals, but the female frequently chased the male and eventually killed him (or so I suspect).
Not sure what I should do with the lone female now.
Do you want the female? Alex doesn't have any more, unfortunately, and I'd prefer that the fish goes to someone who actively breeds them.
How high? 78-82 sound good ?Their range is pretty much spot on the equator. Expect high numbers, rather than low ones.
@mk_0816 I bought a pair from Alex several months ago. Unfortunately, the female past away. The remaining male has been lonely. If you still have the female, I would love to relocate her. PM me if you do, we can work out the details. Thanks!How aggressive are your Ipiranga?
