Coolest cichlid I ever owned and not just fiesty but beautiful was my female pike cichlid. .......
I love the look of pikes
, but want to mainly feed pellets. do pikes notice what's outside the tank?
FHs are great ! Ive owned both and I like my FH more.. Better colour, more personality... Not afraid of everything... one damn tough fish too.
+1 my FH has personality like a puffer..
@Luke & Canadian: I been wondering if females act anything like males?
my warmouths are very dog-like.
they're coldwater sunfish, or bass?
Mind me asking about whats going on with the O? I know they can be brats sometimes
A Texas, is actually the first thing that came to mind before I was even at the end of your post, lol. While I do appreciate their looks, I can't speak for them as wet pets. ......
I think H carpinte are more glass bangers than anything, but that sounds nice right now. Lol.
I suspect our O needs some kind of tankmate(s) to build confidence and learn that pellets are delicious. I can't trade in my husband who created the monster. Llll.
O is spoiled on earthworms.
I moved him to a tankful of geo fry (for eating) and OMG, he acts like it's a swarm of wasps. you'd think he has never eaten any before. hides from his other fave--->earthworms. sulks in one corner. his familiar driftwood & fake plant is there.. lays flat on his side. swims cautiously, a little bit.
might get even worse if I tried rainbow dithers for him. online $$ just for a gamble. ?
I think "he" is a girl.
and bi-polar. In past, relentlessly chased everything I put him with, even bigger fish.
my husband said "he thinks that many geo fry will gang up & beat him to death", whereas just a few at a time were yummy. I was obviously WRONG in thinking that they would make him feel better about a diff tank.
vieja by itself ,would be nice.
I've never had any. pray tell, the behaviors you like.?
don't know about carpi's or FH to weigh in there.
