What is That "Awesome" Cichlid That No One Has Heard Of

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'd say that chanchitos (Australoheros sp.) are one of the awesome fish that not enough people know about or keep. They were the ORIGINAL cichlid in the hobby :)

Also, a lot of people don't know that "convicts" come in a million different varieties: basically every stream in Central America has a different "convict" (of one of the 4 Amatitlania species). They're remarkably different from each other and the God-knows-what convicts in LFS...

Where did that name come from? the "manaconda" was a common name given a while back...long while back...to a hybrid cichlid.

Was a joke, I photoshopped an Argentea. There was this joke going around "Don't google Manaconda", and the other bit was supposed to be Golden Shower in latin which I thought fit cause it was yellow/gold colored.
