CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

MONSTERS is all I can say about these guys/gals. 16" at adult!! man, that is a big African cichlid!! The females wil stay this color and their dots I guess U could say.. easy to sex later and that is always GREAT!! They wil however, get placed into the 125gal come fall if not sooner depending on how they do with the growouts to growing faster than the others.. time wil tell. I have 5..

Nice, what size are they now? it's hard to tell without a floating ruler

Hey "Boss".. LOL.. they are about 3" or so. with the tail I am going on here.. someone thou, killed my small bristlenose pleco! darn it!! he was really eating the algae on the deco and glass. I am getting two more today/?? or when ever I can get them from a breeder, but I hate to lose them to a hungry mean cichlid. dont' really know WHO killed him, just the skiliton was left. new it was him due to the head shape/nose area..

I sure hope later I can find someone with a big tank to take the others that I dont' want.. I hate to see them in a LFS.. they just do not care for them like they should anymore!! (if they dont' feed them, then they dont' have to clean the tank deal!) sucks..

I got them for a dollar as no one wanted them. THEY all have killie's to guppies so this is not a doable cichlids for them.. they are fine for right now. but later as they get bigger, I guess the 125gal is getting back to the African cichlids again.. Dont' mind it thou. the Midas have it now, but they can go to the 75gal in a few months if not sooner.

Ah the joy of fish keeping!! LOL!!

I never had plecos, honestly I wonder if somehow I was prejudiced against their looks, I mean I really could of used some good algae eaters but maybe I had an aversion to keep my hands in the tank with them. With the oscars on the other hand, I spoiled them plenty, even let them bite the hand that feeds them (donno haven't used that one in a while...)
