Life cycle of the Uaru Amphiacanthoides

I created this little montage to show the growth of the Uaru Amphiacanthoides from free swimming fry to adult. The fry in this video were born on 7/5/22. The next tank of juveniles were born 4/11/22. The third are sub-adults and were born on 1/14/22. The adults is the last part are in my 220 gallon show tank. I purchased them at retail. I estimate their ages between one and three years.

Beautiful! What size is this tank?

[@googledocsaccount8950]

What plant is it at 2.15min please?

[@northvinelandtropicals]

The plants are fake. Marineland bamboo.

I have 2. I am not sure of the sex they are always side by side. One is more rounded and larger than the other not sure if that means a male and female. I have noticed they have started digging a pit in the sand, but I haven't seen an egg tube pertruding yet. Do you think it could be breeding, or is it just normal behaviour?

Are those Geophagus Sveni?

[@northvinelandtropicals]

No. Winemilleri, Tapajos, and Satanoperca daemon.

[@MakoyUnggoy]

Very nice, they hammer their veggies haha!

[@northvinelandtropicals]

Yes they do! I can't keep plants in that tank at all.

[@Elias-iw8hd]

What are those silver and orange sharks called that look like they give kisses?😅

[@northvinelandtropicals]

flagtail prochilodus. I've seen them around 24" in public aquariums.

[@balorfinn337]

What kinda catfish is that?

[@northvinelandtropicals]

I have multiple species of Synodontis in this aquarium.

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

Beautiful... Lots of fry ...
Great to see how they mature..
I also love the other fish... Flag tail??

[@northvinelandtropicals]

Yes. I love Flagtails. Unfortunately they cannot be bred in captivity. They get extremely large and are migratory. They're a major food fish in South America. I've seen them over 24" at public aquariums.
