grammodes

 

[Hellman]

why Grammodes

 

[MonitorSpiderCichlid]

just a beast beautiful not picky about water conditions or foods. It also will get its full size in a 125.

but will a pair be Fine in a 125 gallon and would i have to put a divider in after they breed

 

[Hellman]

or if there is any other pairs let me know so i can do research on the fish and see if it is something I like

 

[NCStateFisher]

festaes are out for him. hellmans a friend of mine and we share the same views on festaes. "Lots of color but lacks personality"

I chose lyonsi, because they are among my very favorite fish. I think they are beautiful, and have more personality than people give them credit. There's not a terribly large number of people breeding them right now, and they are also an endangered species... so successful husbandry of this species is a good thing for the species.
