I have a large pair (male + female) of these fish (Krobia xinguensis) that I will admit to having owned under the impression they were actually Red-breated acara (Laetacara dorsigera). I need to move these on as they are out-competing some of my other less active fish, and are going to be too boisterous as discus tank mates. The male is round 5" SL (top photo) and the female (bottom photo) slightly smaller at around 4". I have not (as far as I am aware) seen any breeding activity, but that's not to say it won't happen in the right environment. Apparently, these fish do not come up for sale very often, so grab a bargain for a good sized pair that would do really well in with similar sized South American cichlids (these come from the Xingu River drainage in Brazil). They are also perfectly safe with small tetras (I have cardinals, purple emperors and rummy nose) and eat pretty much anything - flake, prima, frozen food, earthworms etc.
