Eretmodus cyanostictus Zambian Blue Spot

Three to 3 1/2 inches, I believe.

do you all think if i put them in with my fronts that are still about an inch long in a 75g tank would they be alright in there for awhile? IM thinking about purchasing some from my lfs this weekend, theyre about an inch and a half

I really don't know how they'd do, I don't have any experience to speak of with them.

But I have some sad news with mine. I lost one today. It was beaten up pretty badly during the night and I moved him this morning, but he didn't make it. The bigger one had been chasing it around quite a bit. I thought 75 gallons would be plenty of room to escape and have territories, but they are so aggressive to each other -- even at their size -- 1.5 to barely 2 inches.

Sorry about the bad news Betty. Yes, they are very aggressive to each other and need a big tank with a lot of hiding spots. I have a group of 5 in my 125g with my Tropheus. They are in there now since about 5 years and still chase each other when they meet by accident. These fish are certainly not for for a smaller tank even though they only grow to about 4 inched.

well I purchased them 2 days ago from my lfs .... they didnt know what they were, it wasnt even in their inventory, I told them what they were..... to make a long story short I got them for 1.99 a piece

Hey Ray, I'd love to see some pictures. How many did you get?

there were 2 so I got both.... how do you post pics?

The easiest way is to upload them to a photo hosting site like photobucket.com. I'll be happy to help if you need it, but it's not to difficult too figure it out after you create an account there.

here are the pics of one of the spots and some of the fronts

I can't believe you got those for $1.99. Great deal!

I went back to the lfs earlier tonight and the same guy who sold me the spots said I literally had a steal!!....

$1.99? Holy crap!!! Why can't I find that around here? He looks great...

Nice fishies! What an expression!

A few newer pictures. I really like those blue spots.

they are quite the lil nippers if the fronts or the ink spots get near their rock theyll chase them away!

Very nice! They look better and better.
