My First Cichla!!!!!!! **PIC LOAD**

[pwmin]

I ended up with two tiny ones from different places. Each are 1.25 to 1.50 inches. I'm having a hard time finding small enough feeders and live brine shrimp cultures, but the one is eating O1 FD Mini Krill and both are eating Hikari FD Bloodworms, but are still skinny.

One was labeled a temensis and the other an ocellaris. Everyone so far seems to think one is a tem, but the other one is in question. I don't care much what the ocellaris is as it was cheap. I'm hoping I'll be able to house the tem for life, but IDK if I will.

Anyway, could y'all look at them and tell what what you think? I'm so excited to grow these things up. Also, I apologize for the crap pix. All but pictures 4 and 6 are of the "ocellaris".

funny thing is that 1-3, 5 and 7-8 are the same fish. HCR got to look at them and said he thought they could easily both be tems. at the LFS and when I got it home, it didn't show the solid line, but now it does. i'm very interested to hear what others think. The for-sure tem only has the solid line but not spots whereas the other one has either just spots or spots and the line. i'm a total cichla newb, so i have no clue
