600 gallons of cichla!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ayt bro, thanks, at least im confident now that spangling can still develop at this stage.. Was opting to get a bigger kel with nice markings already but you guys saved me from getting another cichla. Thank you! :)
 
Okay hope so, thanks for the info bro!



Haha thanks bud! Bumble bee grouper? Why you gonna ship me one from jersey to the philippines? Haha they look great actually i love their colors and aggression but i wouldnt know how to take care of brackish fish. Plus we have a lot of grouper here in the islands. Chinese restos have tanks full of grouper to be steamed with fermented yellow bean and soy sauce and blanched with smoking hot oil! Very very good eating! Hehe

ey aren't you talking about lapu lapu? haha. Im Filipino and I love that stuff its a shame that the fish is so nice yet we still eat it

yes sir! its good eating the meat is perfect for steaming, frying, making soup, and even as sashimi! there are now commercial fish farms for grouper/rock cod/lapulapu here in the country. but im sure alot of them are still being fished out. yeah they are beautiful fish indeed. the black colored ones are great and have good markings there is a subspecies which i often see in the fish market and in restaurants and are priced higher than the normal black ones. these guys are beautiful in a tank. red with blue spots. here's an example of them in the fish market.

time for an update! my colombian tems are getting bigger and had some growouts that were too valuable to be eaten so decided to take out the big tems and put them in the pond with my other monocs. plus my sao francisco died he's still in my freezer still cant dispose of him. :P anyway ill post pics after i post this latest feeding vid.. in the tank are 4 + 1 new pleiozona, 3 golden bahias, 5 orinos, 3 wc azuls, 1 sb mono, 2 salvador tems, 1 boettner xingu, and 1 brokopondo.
