      Great on you Scott. I got mine from Gary as eggs in April. I just got 2 pairs shipped out to a gentleman in Honolulu. That should make 5 of us in the US who have them. My goal is to get this fish out to more people. Really happy for you to get the fish too 👌👌👌 from the age yours look just wait a month...month and a half and they'll know your socks off

      I appreciate that. I made the switch to try to focus on breeding new or rarer strains to help distribute them. Many of the rainbows in New Guinea are becoming endangered or extinct due to pollution, mining or palm oil plants. 😔 But on a positive note, they're also a joy to watch 😁

There's many many ways to start a planted tank but its about finding balance between available nutrients, light and the amount of photosynthetic plant density. Fast growing stem plants use nutrients faster and more readily than something like anubias. There's so much info that you may need to know to find a balance. But Bentley already has a plethora of information posted!

    • @HoonAquatics

      Thanks Brian. My guess is Kali Jamas is likely an older species possibly from one of Heiko Bleher or Hans Evers expeditions. Many species that aren't very beautiful or look similar to others are sometimes lost to the hobby. I have not seen any articles about the river or inhabitants of Kali Jamas. We will have to see once Dan has pictures up

      My Aves Creek Boesemani have been stunning with deep orange. Someone else who has some from the same batch are very pale yellow. Might be dietary.. so if you get some feed lots of krill or anything high in astaxanthin to bring out red/oranges. Baby brine also good to supplement at the size in the video. Boesemani grow very slow
