    Carpintis/Texas x Jaguar line breeding ideas?

    I saw a Texas Jaguar hybrid, and I was wondering what would happen if I line bred a new hybrid. I was thinking a white/gold base with a nice blue for the Jaguar patterns would be good. I was also thinking a taller thicker body that is around the same size of a regular Jag, maybe bit of nuchal...

    Hardiest Central American cichlid?

    From your experience, what is the hardiest medium-large Central American cichlid you know of or have kept? I’m talking rock solid. A fish Resilient to diseases compared to others. A fish that is stronger than the others.

    Texas cichlid sexing

    i was wondering if my Texas is a male or female. Also is my Texas getting a hump on its head or is that a normal head shape. Really wanting a male. Heard the hump is a good sign of male.

    Cyano, Carpintis or Hybrid?

    Hi guys, I bought a cichlid labeled as H. Cyanoguttatos. But after reading some posts asking for ID and looking some pictures I'm not convinced he/she is a cyano. Now I'm not sure how to set a proper tank environment (pH, temperature, etc). I've attached a picture. Thanks, FM

    Should I seperate my Carpintis and BP?

    hello, I have been moving alot of fish around between our tanks. My female Blood Parrot and Male Escondido Carpintis appear to be pairing. Should I separate them to not let them hybridize? or is this cross desirable?

    Carpintis in 200 gal community

    Just moved this guy/gal into my 200 gal community, I'd say around just over 3" ATM. Might start to use this thread to timeline his progress as he grows. Starting to show some real potential imo. I'll hopefully get some better pics today once settled. Let me know what you think?

    Hi, I have a quick question. So I have a 6in female Flowerhorn that lays eggs non-stop alone in her tank. I'm thinking about getting her a Male Aztec Carpintis....will they breed? Also will I have to put a divider up even though it's not a male Flowerhorn?
