nice

[piranha45]

I wish. That and the other smaller parachromis - mota loisellei all intrigue me greatly. But I've got enough fish and tankspace as it is for a broke college boy, so I'll have to wait for the long run before I can own such specimens.

[piranha45]

nice
thats not even his pic you dummy!

loisellei is nice too... but i currently only have friedrichstalli available to me now...

still thinking to buy or not to by coz only the 1 inchers are left....

[Caveman]

Friedricksthalli are a very nice looking Cichlid but can be rather aggressive towards others.

as aggressive as Dovii?

[piranha45]

yes, but on a much smaller scale

[Caveman]

They can be as aggressive as dovii and posses similar tools.

[IoStrisciare]

cool.

definately one for the list....

hmmm.... they look almost alike... is there anyway to tell the sexes apart?

[Caveman]

Anal and Dorsal fins have been for me the best way to sex Friedricksthalli. Females Anal and Dorsal fins are more round and blunt where as the males Anal and dorsal fins come to a sharper point.

[Caveman]

And I belive that all the pictures B3 posted are of his female? :confused:

Very nice Freds! Puts my buddy's to shame!

[iheartfishies]

The colors on her are magnificant. :hearts:
She's a number one stunner.
Give me some fry.

BTW both my m and f Dovii are huge vag's.
It's just my luck I keep ending up with pussy pred fish.

I have an 11" male fredrichstahli. They are not nearly as aggresive motaguensis however they are more aggresive than loiselli. They are aggresive as texas cichlids only with stronger jaws, larger teeth and more agilty.

Nice fish..

Your male motaguensis looks very healthy.

I have a female Friedricksthalli about 4-5 " kept with a male dovii, male midas, breeding texas's, pike and gt. She definately holds her own in this tank. The midas is probably pushing 7" now and she takes no sh*t from him. She punks the pike who is also considerably bigger than her. At this size she has 3 visible teeth and is not afraid to use them. Very happy with this fish even though I thought it was a female moto for a long time.

[Killduv]

Can you sex these fish at a young age. Lets say like 2 to 4 inches. By looking at the finnage.
I am thinking of buying some.

[iheartfishies]

ya she was sold as a red tiger moto...

those bastards.

[toxicfish]

My 6"freddy has killed or brutaly atacked every tank mate that I have tryed(oscar,JD,GT,Gar,Rpb).........exept for the common Pleco.

It has stopped being aggresive to me for some odd reason, after biting me many times. and now hides at first when I enter the room

[piscavore pisces]

gotta love the parachromis genus
