Chanchitos? Centrarchus?

[santoury]

I LOVE these two - but nobody on here seems to have any.

If any of you do, I'd love pictures! Have not seen them available in a long time, either.

I've got a pair of A. centrarchus. I got them off RuckFules.
Male 5.5", female 5".

Their tank, (29gls)

I'm amazed that I can't their fat-***es in this pic. They're usually quite unsuccessful at making themselves scarce. lol

I love centrarchus, a very cool cichlid. Their brood care is incredible to watch. It's like they are decorating a Christmas tree with fry!

I think I can get both locally in Socal.

Very nice! Have they bred for you yet? They were doing the breeding dance in my tank...long time ago...

Centrarchus was the first cichlid imported into the hobby. It was described way back in 1877! Beautiful fish. Very under rated in the hobby.

All the time. Just not having any luck getting wigglers out of them. I want to find another male or female, see if pairing one or the other up with a different mate might get me some fry.
They killed the odd-man-out not long after I got them. Still a great fish. I love watching them.
