Cichla Tank Updates!!!

[The True Guapote]

Well here are some pics of my little guys from Jeff Rapps, one still has ich but he's eating good and showing no ill signs of the parasite. Everybody is fat with stomachs full of salmon

Here is my 55g Growout tank containing 3? species-Cichla kelberi (courtesy of Andrew), Cichla monoculus/ocellaris? (Laosy Fish), and a Farmy I picked up from the LFS

Finally the 220 containig C. pinima, C. piquiti, and C. temensis

Notice the Temensis on the very left side of the tank, looking up, that's my guy with bad eyesight, for some reason he's always much more yellow in color than any other of the temensis...weird

uh...let me see:

6 x Temensis
2x Piquiti
1x Pinima
2x Kelberi
3x Mono/Ocell
1x Farmy
5x Orinocensis

that makes 20 if my math is right!

 

[haynchinook334]

20 is correct. I wish i had the time to collect all the pbass there is.

I hear ya! I'm trying to get at least one of everything available, I've got my sights on C. intermedia next, after that...who knows?

 

[The True Guapote]

I'm putting the temensis around 3'
Pinima around 3'
Azuls 30"?
Mono/Ocell 2'
Kelberi 2'
Farmy 2'
Orinos 18"?

I will probably sell some of the temensis when they start hitting the 12" mark, I only want to have 2-3 of everything...except Azuls, you can never have enough Azuls
