Large Aggressive CA/SA Cichlids

[terd ferguson]

WOW you have some very nice managuense!! =) and loving all your other fishes...like the festae...and the freddy and lois

Thanks. All of the efforts put into this setup are very rewarding. It is hard work though. That's the main reason I say "don't take this as advice". I don't want some new guys to think they can just throw all these fishes together and everything will be great. As most of you know, it takes careful planning and you have to be on top of every issue dealing with your tank and fishes to make this kind of setup successful.

I would be glad to answer any questions (if I can). What I can tell you is what I have done to ease aggression problems (my main health concern for this tank), this however, might not be what the person asking the question should do though. Regardless of reputation, each fish has their own personality. I've been lucky.

I do. What to you think of the potential taxonomical reclassification of Pearsei from Ex-Cichlasoma Pearsei to Vieja Pearsei? Do you think it will eventually be changed? And a follow up question...since ex-Cichlasoma Bocourti is similar, do you think they will follow suit with Vieja?

TF...good looking fish...especially the Managuense.

Thanks. He's not half as nice as yours, lol. I wish I had the photo skills to really show him off. He looks so much better in person than the sucky photos I am able to take.

I was looking forward to seeing more tanks.

 

[catfishlover106]

When you use white font, it makes it hard to read for those members using the light blue version of MFK, the same for MFK dark is the use of font color "dark gray" or "black"

If you use no font color it is easily read in both formats

so heres a couple of pics.. i am the worlds worst photographer... ive posted this pic before and never got a for sure answer. lately hes been getting a light blue speck on the tips of his scales looks awesome. his colors are faint but its a really cool looking fish. but this is by far the most aggressive fish in my tank. he doesnt really mess with the RD or the O's but i think its jsut cuz this fish is about 7 or inches and the RD is almost 2X that...but its the antagonistic personality that makes this one the badass... i could forsee problems in the future beeing that this guys only about 6months old...we'll see/
