grow out

Hi, I’m new to the forum and rather new to aquariums and fish as a whole. I’ve had cichlids for about a year and a half now. I had mainly Africans but due to me moving I’ve sadly lost all but 2 of my Africans due to the stress of it all (luckily they left a surprise behind them with 4 fry that...

So I know that naming fish is for girls lol. But my wife kind of got me into it. Lol. I call these guys my (Bass) Terds. I got them on July.7 after seeing them 3 days earlier. At the time it was extremely hard to find any in my city. Every time an lfs would get them they would be gone in a...

Decided to trade off one of my smaller ATFs because the other guy was constantly harassing him. Got two GATFs and moved the other guy over to my main tank with the bigger ATF. Has been 3 days and they're doing great! The GATFs, now in my 135, they're chomping on cut tilapia like there's no...
