i hope you guys like. i had 2 orinos but one got picked on and didnt make it. this is not my first cichlas. i had a bunch of growouts months ago, but do to my own mistake i killed them all. i had 3 wc tems (2 from sa, 1 from aquatic imports), 1 f1 bahia kelb from rapps, 2 supposedly wc rare orinos which in my eyes were actually pleiozona i purchased them from americancichlids.net but they swore they were orinos but i knew they werent. i posted pics of them awhile back and everyone agreed they werent orinos. i learned from my mistake! i hope you all like. i will keep you all updated with pics. i plan on getting rid of the tem in the spring, so i can put my orino with the kelb!!

Nice collection bro, need to fatten that kel up a bit though looking a bit skinny. Killer Tem, I'm looking to get another one myself from Shark! Thanks for sharing!!

Those are nice. Very jealious

Thanks guys. The kelb only eats aqua treasure mysis shrimp. The tem eats anything floating! I'm hoping the kelb catches on to the tem but doesn't seem to be working. You would think starving it would work. Also I'm hoping for the orino to do some catching up so I can put him in with the kelb. I plan on getting rid of the tem in the spring. The kelb is a mean dude! Always picking on the tem.

What else have y0u tried feeding that tem? Them mysis shrimp arent gonna cut it for a good growth rate. Looks good minus that skinny belly.

The tem is fat, do u mean the kelb? The tem loves hikari Sticks, carni-sticks and bio gold! Wish the kelb would get down with the hikari food!

Thanks houdini89.. you have quite the collection yourself!! Anyone have any tips on how I can get the kelb to eat some type of pellets weather its floating sticks or sinking. I starved him and still nothing!
