Thank you, I'd love to see a picture of yours. Could be that it is a female. I only planned on having one male, but my first gt turned out to be a female. I thought it was a less then stunning male up till she laid eggs. Haha. But like you, her personality is just too great to let her go. So instead I set out to get her a mate. And now here I am. Lol
It is, I'd love to see more of their young go to members here.
And thank you, I hope I can find more of them homes. If not I'll be calling around to some fish shops:/
yes mate may just have to swim over the pond to get some of them little guys lolThank you. Too bad you aren't close. I have over 20 fry I need gone from these two. Thankfully their fry only survives if I add salt to the tank so I can keep their numbers under control. This last spawn was my confirmation on my salt theory. Lol
They are wonderful cichlids for sure. Aggressive, but wonderful
wy the young need salt mate? not brackish are they?
aggressive for south American" but probley not like your centrals mate

They are not brackish. I'm a little puzzled as to why they need it too. My guess is either it has to do with my water being so hard(off the charts) or the salt protects against fungus. Both maybe?
It's the only thing that keeps the little ones alive past 4 days post hatching. Odd I know, lol.
Yes, they aren't the most aggressive by cichlid standards. But the most aggressive fish I've ever owned!
I love their fearlessness.
Hard to get a picture lol but here it is I'm hoping once I get another light it's colors will pop a little more

I didn't see your post till now. I believe you have a nice dominant female. Are the first few dorsal rays white on the tips? I can't really tell in the picture.
*7 month update*
Oliver is a beast of a fish. He keeps Greenie in line, but isn't brutal to her the way she was to him. They are still spawning regularly, but fungus overtakes the eggs in a couple days. That's fine with me, the tank is much calmer without fry.
He rarely holds still. Lol
I'm on the lookout for a 6ft tank. Even though they tend to stay to one side of the 75 most of the time, I think they'd really benefit from more room. It would also allow me to try some more dithers again. The two glofish are really boring, lol.
