Casper was my most favorite fish to date. We went thru so much. He arrived from Jeff Rapps at 1.5in

And in no time he picked a mate and started to breed, he had five spawns. They ended up at The Wet Spot, so it gives me happiness to know his prodigy may be all over America.

Sadly though as cichlids are he removed his mate from existence

Well, sad news to report today, friends. I had to put Casper down tonight.

I don't have much to say about it. Still kind of in shock. He was getting older and had definitely been slowing down so it wasn't necessarily unexpected, but that doesn't mean it didn't suck. He got to the point where he was obviously suffering and there wasn't much more that could be done.

I like to think we gave him a good three years as part of our family. We'll miss him greeting us in the morning and watching TV with us at night.

He'll always have a special place in my heart...

Was posted in his thread. I had him four years, plus another three for a total of 7 years. Maybe could have lived longer if I didn't put him through so much stress when he was young from breeding and moving tank to tank, trying to get him to coexist with other fish. We will never know.
It does make me happy knowing his fry could be all over America though so he lives on.

His fry at The Wet Spot

I'll start it off, here's my salvini ( which was bread in my tank and going strong showing loads of colour she got from her mum) and my deamon

am surprised that your Salvini is not jumping on your Geophagus? They both look good How do you keep them together?

I am surprised that you are able to keep the Salvin in the same tank with your huge Festae, they both looks good, how do you accomplish that?

Not a very good photo but I had to show them.
I got 4 wild exCichlasoma ornatum around 2 years ago.

There amazing cichlids and the most aggressive I've ever kept, they got so bad the first 3 basically killed each other and the final one I had didn't stop fighting everything. It ended up with a massive gash on its side that ended up getting bigger and bigger and he eventually died.

The one in the photo was the final one to die from the gash it had but boy did he have some yellow colouring going on towards the end and he was a HARD fish

Had to share

My pride and joy
I love this girl
I've never really that sort of bond with a fish but if I lost her I'd be gutted

I have too many pictures to post but here is my male Herichthys turquoise sp. he passed away last year at 13 years old. The female passed away a couple years prior, they had thousands of offspring. I haven’t seen another one in more than a decade.
