CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Here's some of my cichlid pics 
Not the  best photographer  but maybe a few fish some people haven't seen

few more















white and orange -Amphilophus citrinellus - white midas female

It is hard to judge how big these guys really are in a pic, until you see them in person..

How many tanks do you have???? Great looking fish, I think you did really well with the pics, Thanks! Findinding these pics inspirational as I'm still trying to decide what to put in my tanks! I have space in two. Tanks again......... lol x

Nice fish, and nice shots! 

Is your H. sp. "Turquoise" the same fish that I normally see referred to as H Carpintis "Escondido"?  Looks the same to me.  Some of the info I've found suggests that the name was from the Escondido River, where they were found.  In any case, it's a nice-sounding name for vernacular and marketing use.

BTW, you were right about those microphthalmus -- Lost 2 of the 4 to no apparent reason (though I've separated them from the pollenis they were in with just in case). 

How many tanks do you have? Great looking fish

Right now I only have 22 tanks and 8 stock tubs running.

Is your H. sp. "Turquoise" the same fish that I normally see referred to as H Carpintis "Escondido"? 

No
H carpintis "Escondido" is a  more colorful H.carpintis , ironically not from Escondido (city or river)

H. sp. "Turquoise" is a seperate species also sometimes called H.sp."cazones",they only come from the Rio cazones.
  They look different as adults.
Not sure who hosts this picture but it's not mine.
But this is what adults grow into. The picture was taken by Don Danko  of some of the adults orginally collected.

bummer  it'd be nice to see more people keep and spawn those guys since there's so few in the hobby.

Yes, I see what you mean with the adults.  Definitely nice looking fish!
