Hmmm.....well, last night I decided I was tired of not bein able to see my fishies....SOOO I did some rearranging and moved my fish around. Moved all my pikes and my Hoplarchus psittacus to my 75gal. Put in a buncha rocks and driftwood, and added more lightin...and BLAMMO!! Instant success! Its a very active tank, and so far things are going great. No aggression at all really. Point is, since I can now SEE my fish, I took A LOT OF PICTURES of them....
. ENJOY!! I think I shall have three seperate threads.....one for each species...woot. Aigh, umm, lets see, we shall start with my Hoplarchus psittacus, the TRUE Parrot cichlid. I currently have three of these beautiful giants, and ABSOLUTELY love them. I was lucky enough to get the Brazilian strain, which IMO get much better lookin than the Venezuelan strain. As you can see by the pictures........they are startin to really color up....and startin to get their red breasts, which I think only the Brazilians get! Oh, and their eyes are now red all the time...looks really kewl. Anywho...enough talkin!! Woot!....HOPLARCHUS PSITTACUS!!
