    Who ARE You!!??

    I've had them and bred them...almot 15y ago.
    While I Occasionally import it into SA, one other wholesaler does too.

    Have a look at Panorama petshop, they had half a doz about 2weeks ago.

    Grows almost as large as Oscars. Bigger than Severum, even.

    Like Discus, their fry initially feed by "glancing" off parent fish sides, "suckling" them as it were...

    I think Uaru amphiacanthoides and Uaru fernadezyepezi are currently recognized species avail in the hobby.

    Make no mistake, this is a BIG fish!!
    If cared for properly, it will reward the Larger South American Cichlophile with many years of interesting behaviourial companionship.

    They used be somewhat rare, and expensive until a few years ago.

    Warm water, oversized filtration, excellent aeration, decent protein food with significant vegetable matter is large part of success with Uaru.

    You can get them every other month through good retailers, in your area (or via US, at The WaterZoo):blink1:
