PARACHROMIS PERFECT

[John Rambo]

I want your 600 gallon. cant even imagine how much that cost. And the pics make it look small, but I bet its huge, if it has to be in your garage.

It didnt cost too much at all. I got it used with a 360 gallon tank for $1100 from the second owner who no longer keeps fish. I keep it in the garage because I am paranoid about leaks. I keep all my tanks out of the house.
The 600 is actually not that big. It sounds like a lot but its still 8ft like a 240. Its just deeper and taller, and when keeping pissed off fish like parachromis, some times its too small.

wow, nice. Why paranoid about the leaks? Have you had that happen to you before? Or just seen it and never want it to happen to you?

Can anyone ID what morph Dovii is in the first pic? Im not that good at distinguishing the difference. costa rican, nic, and now a yellow? How many variances are there now?

It took me over 2 years to collect them all, and every day to make sure the males and females dont kill each other. All are paired up, and the smallest is between 7-8". I just couldnt take a very good pic while holding the ruler so I gave up after the first shot. not included in the photos are a male rtm and a male La ceiba (both recovering from a swollen lip disease)
And a male fredie I just couldnt catch!
Can anyone correctly name the fish and sex?

I finally got pics of the male rtm and the freddie.
