CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Thanks! he is a character! I have them in a 55 gal together, I tryed to seperate them and they both flip out, as in not eating, swimming back and forth looking for each other. He sometimes gets 'pushy' with her, but she 'nips' him to get him to stop. It is something to watch! She has layed 2 more times, but ate the fry at a few days old. I don't mind that really, as I have 300+ 5 mo.old Juveniles just now turning Orange and going to different stores. They are quite happy in their little Pot HomeStead, that needs to get bigger on the next tank clean. Here are some pics of them and the Juves..

Nice pics. I am wondering how chocolate covered beefheart taste's. Can you tell us Barb!!!....lol

I have been Sooo Lucky that I can not find any Beef Heart!
I have found frozen at the LFS, but I want fresh. Not easy being picky, but it has worked so far!!

can you tell me if your fish are parrot fish as i have 2 they lay eggs all the time but i have never had babies

NO these are MIDAS cichlids. NOT parrots. I am sure you can tell the difference right away..It is posted on all the posts. MIDAS..
As for yours not having any LIVE fry, they can't. All males are sterile. Although I have seen posts that say theirs have had fry. No pics but they say they did..who knows..Parrots are Hybrids, meaning they are the offspring of 2 different species that would NOT have spawned in the wild naturally. Man made cichlids. That is way they are surposed to be Sterile..Now that is in question..

what did Jeff Goldblum Say in Jurassic Park??

LIFE WILL FIND A WAY..
