Today in the Fishroom ~ Amphilophus trimaculatus

[Aquamojo]

I have about thirty of these beautiful fish. I decided to dedicate a good portion of my fishroom into growing them out, and breeding them. Seven tanks have them...from 400 gallon to 100 gallon in various set ups...two fish, three fish, divided tank, with dithers,... So far I have three pair breeding.

Here' a photo that shows the difference in coloration between non breeding and breeding:



Here's a few more shots:




And this one I took some time setting up...four speedlights and the camera flash:

Awesome shots and fish mate. Awesome to see you are still keeping plenty of nice nasty cichlids, I haven't been on any forums for a long time until I recently started keeping fish again, remember when I was young 10-15 years ago getting inspiration from all of your tanks and fish. Thanks

I apologize for the double photo post. Trying to figure it out. Love the new website BTW. Li really keeps it sharp. One more.
