Chocolate Cichlid Keepers??

[Sauteman]

Another fav cichlid of mine besides the four 3'' uarus I own are my 2 2-3'' chocolate cichlids. The eat like pigs and are the temproalis kind... suppose to be wild caught out of colombia or something. Was just wondering if there were any chocolate keepers here and if you can post some pics of them from the ones you had in the past or have now. I will post mine tommrow

Buddha has the best examples of prime Chocolate Cichlids IMO. They are still young but they just exude rich colors.

Hey Buddha, that guy gets any more color you'll need sunglasses to look at him. Great job John.

I picked up a male a while back from Rapps while doing another order. I kind of decided at the last minute to add the Chocolate male to my order. I really wish I had picked up a group instead. Easily my favorite fish right now and he is very bulky which is what I like about him. He is also really starting to color up and I can only imagine what he would look like with a couple females in the tank with him. I will still probably get a couple females but will have to wait a bit due to the cost of shipping.

A few pictures of mine:

Mine were just like Oscars as in always begging for food etc.

Thanks Darren.

I miss my chocolates. Lost one when he was shipped improperly from my LFS when I moved. Just recently lost another when he picked a fight with the wrong fish and ended up losing badly. I will have them again soon, one of my favorite species of fish.
