1. Ive been keeping fish since i was about 7, keeping cichla for the past year or so.
2. Currently have 5 Cichla.. (3 Ocels, 2 Monos) had a Tem but my Ocels killed him. Would have Orinos and Kelberis but no one seems to have them here in Australia..
More Cichla to come.. (WATCH THIS SPACE) :)
3. Was told there farmies, still hot though :headbang2
4. Feed once a day, staple diet of Hikari Food Sticks, with whitebait and market shrimp on occasions..
5. My bass started showing colours around the 5 - 6 inch mark..
6. First bought all my bass at 2 - 3 inches, steady growth of around 1 inch a month.
7. Im hoping i have a spawning couple out of the 5 i have.
8. Fave bass would be Cichla SP Fogo cause its probably the Unicorn of the Cichla world cause no one has them, being so rare just makes me want it more..:drool:
