that looks great! did you grow your fish to that size from guppies or did you buy those guys at that size?
hi there... yes, i got most of them when they were about 1 to 1.5 inches... the gold comps, they were like half an inch when i got them... the cichlids been with me for about 3+ years now.. most of the larger ones are around 6 to 8 inches...terrificturner;5048516;5048516 said:
their main staple is NLS 3mm and thera A... occasionally I would feed them freeze dried blood worms, fresh shrimp, live baby crayfish and crickets...
It's a Malawi Eyebiter... scientific name is Dimidiochromis compressiceps... a juvenile is not as colorful... they are gray when small...orionxtr;5048558;5048558 said:

Thanks... not sure I have space in the house for another tank... I have an oscar right now in a 75 gallon and a 30 gallon long for breeding marbled crayfish... and a 20 gallon molly tank for the kids...dtgshark;5048615;5048615 said:great job bro! they all look stunning and healthy. great work also on the landscaping. those fronts should start breeding for you soon... Now go get a 300 gals and start stocking some monster peacock bass...
If I do pursue the Peacock Bass option, I might have to use the same 200 gallon tank for them... let me ponder on this a little bit... but definitely this is a tempting consideration...
