My new and first Cichla

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Awsome before and after shots. Now I am looking even more forward to growin' my guy big.

They do look very similar. The main difference I see is yours had spangling in the dorsal, and mine doesn't.
 
A monster in the making
 
It's Ocell you know I know. Andy had an identicle one still at Fish Palace and I kept seeing it and thinking should I or should I not. (not) at least not for me. I have one too many.

Angler I would feed both Feeders and what ever else you can get him to take. GL and Pm any of us if you need anything. Keep your temp up and of course enjoy your new addition. They grow so quick you will be looking for another little guy to grow out soon after.

Thanks man. I just set up a 10 gallon feeder tank and went and bought a bunch of feeders. I wanna fatten this guy up!

I won't hesitate to ask you any questions. You know your Cichla fo sho!

Hell yeah!

The only Pbass I own is a 4" Ocell, and I am already looking at price on getting a 300 gallon shipped to me. The Cichla ]\/[adness is dangerous:eek:.

It just got worse for you! :D My Mono's are laying egg's as we speak. The Vieja Bro. laid two day's ago. And I already have a thread going for my Hiathensis Cuban's. You will be uping your stock very soon indeed. Of course H.D. always. ;)
 
i got it from Fish Palace labeled as ocellaris, but that doesn't mean it can't be a mono...only time will tell

That is alway's true. Unless you know for sure were they were collected point of origin. ;) So JCardona1 could be correct. I stand corrected for the momment. :D. We will see. I got all 3 of my Ocellaris from them so that was my reason for saying yes. But as we all know :D:D!

And oh yes the Co is in the Cichla scene. Had em or love em you just gotta catch em all to see the lightning in the water. ~Church~
