Currently I am operating three tanks which have cichlids. The first is Felix the Oscar's 55g tank.
He is 11 inches and I have had him for 18 mos. I bought Felix at Pet Extreme for $15 and he was advertised as a juvenile lemon Oscar. As you can see he is a very golden red Oscar .
Here I am changing the water.
Mojo is a 5" male mbuna and was donated with the 30g. He lives with baby Morton the Pleco.
I had to separate him from the community because Buttercup abused him constantly.
This 30 gal housed 11 fish when I rescued it last year. Now it's just Mojo and Morton.
This is my 55g mixed cichlid tank. Except for Buttercup, Cromwell and Photon, and the five mbuna fry, all of these fish were donated to me along with the 30 gallon aquarium.
Just for the record this is the current stocking:
Two 3" convicts ( Fish and Chips)
One 4" in bristlenose pleco (Rhino)
Two 4" USD cat (Whiskers1&2)
One 4" golden mbuna (Maynard)
One 4" mixed mbuna fem (Leeloo)
FIVE (so far surviving) of her fry!
One 5" Yellow Lab (Sunflower)
One 5" mixed peacock (Photon)
One 5" mixed mbuna (Voodoo)
One 6" blue hap (Cromwell)
One 6" yellow hap (Buttercup)
He was the mate of Leeloo and King of the tank.
A handful of pest snails and ramshorn snails that seem to be multiplying slowly.
We were recently surprised when Little Lulu and Buttercup decided to mate in a tank crowded with 12 fish!
I put a divider in the tank to sequester her from the rest and she delivered us a clutch of fry.
