The Official Wolfmans tank thread

Hoover was showing off the other day and I was able to get some pics.

Today’s I when I got home from work I was greeted by the Azul looking awesome so I took some pictures of him as well.

I’ve also been seeing these floating around that I’ve been vacuming up. Might be time to throw a rock in there.

A little update. The eggs I was seeing have stopped I couldn’t figure out who was laying them. I did put in a rock in the low spot in the sand that they dug but no success getting them to lay on it. I did do a large feeding the other day and a water change and the next day Hoover’s hump was quite a bit larger and red. I’ve noticed that it fluctuates In size from time to time and I guess that has to do with feeding/aggression/water changes. Anyway I took some quck cell phone shots of the gang sorry about the glare.

I have 2 bass... my first kept killing all of his tank mates. But gets along great with my 10 inch tinfoil barbs. So.... I finally pick up a second bass... he/ she gets along great with my smaller school of barbs as well. Maybe it is an age thing?
Your fish are epic.

Thanks, Cichla do best in groups of 3 or larger. It seems to spread the aggression out. I personally feel that other species of fish have a hard time thriving with bass unless they are really outgoing.

Cichlids can be triggered to lay eggs/spawn with cooler temp and more frequent water changes simulates rainy season I’m sure you knew this but figured I would throw it out there. I was able to get a female wc Broko to lay multiple times for me doing this method it was kind of and experiment I read about it here on mfk and figured would give it a try and it worked.

Bass are looking gorgeous!

Parents have been looking after the eggs... well I just took a look in the tank and there’s wigglers everywhere... stay tuned I don’t know what to do next anyone who has any advice feel free to help me out. So freakin pumped.
