Hypselecara temporalis: ’Fire in Those Eyes’

A wild caught pair of Chocolate cichlids, Hypselecara temporalis have just finished putting down a large spawn on the cover of a UV unit, their second such effort in three weeks. They have taken over the back right corner of a 180G tank containing Heros sp. ’Rotkeil’, Heros severus, Geophagus altifrons ’Rio Tocantins’, Satanoperca daemon, Satanoperca leucosticta, and a few dithers (Myleus schomburgkii). Check the intensity of the eye color . . . a warning to others, no doubt.
