These are the first photos I have of them and they are adapting well, they still need more color but with more time they will look great

A. 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.
Good info Mike

Ah! Thanks for clarifying, Mike!

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.

How 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.

The couple I have is not aggressive, they paired up quickly, I was lucky

@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!
