    Which peacock bass species can I keep ?

    Hey guys. I’m getting a new tank (250x90x70) 8,2 x 3 x 2,5ft so roughly about 422 gallon. Could I keep kelberi or would they outgrow that tank ? Please state your experience :) best greetings from Germany

    WC Azul sunken belly, internal parasite?

    Initially thought it was just picky and shy, since it only takes earthworms and occasionally raw shrimps, and its tank mates are greedy, but recently the sunken belly seems worsened, especially given I just fed them the day before. Could it be internal parasites? I tried to soak the shrimp with...

    Is my peacock a Cichla Temensis or Cichla Azul?

    It was sold as a Cichla Temensis but the coloration and some blue colors in the fish are making me wonder whether it actually is a Temensis or an Azul. I attached the picture, it had a massive meal just before the picture that's why its so fat. The coloration of the fish in real life is...
