I owe their beauty to MFK... If I never stumbled on to MFK these fish wouldn't even be alive today. I went through five cichla death's because I never new that the temp had to be kept high etc. The LFS's around here didn't know **** about them, always telling me to never let the temps get higher than 76 degs when they are young juvi's.
These ones I have now were listed as ocellaris, even the orino. I remember when I bought the orino they were telling me that it's wasn't a tem or mono and it had to be a ocellaris. At that time I had already found MFK and knew for sure it was an orino. When I saw it in the tank, it was like a dream come true. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would see one around here.
THANK YOU MONSTER FISH KEEPERS !!!!!! knowledge is a beautiful thing
