Today's pickup

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Give him a week or two and that tail should be as good as new. He was actually liplocking with my 3" larger male Festae for dominance. The female is a bit young but should color up when she settles in. Take good care of them. Nice pics.
 
As long as I don't have to go away for a month again, and leave the wc duties up to the wife, everything will be fine. My GT is a nosey lil sap. He just keeps swimming up to them and checking them out. I'll be adding some salt and raising the temp a couple of degrees.

And I wonder also why this was moved without a picture or anything? :D :D :D
 
they look awsome!!! if they breed you will have to watch your GT and O's. not to many cichlids can stand up against a pair of festae with thier young. i love the pic of the O's about to lock up!!!
 
While I was taking pics of the Festae, the O's were squaring off. It's been a while since they've done that, so it was definitely time to take a picture of that.

Thanks for the compliments

Well I see that I must keep my word, and here are the pics of my new pickup. They are still a little stressed, and they were bullied by Balton777's bigger male festae. A little TLC and they will be good as new. I'm looking forward to watching them recover. I'm also includingn the other inhabitants in the tank

I thought I saw a little gold saum hiding in that first pic. The last one confirmed it.

nice!!

are they the same that are actually in Balton's avatar?

No, I had a larger male and female and a smaller male and female. I sold the smaller ones. They won't look like the ones in my avatar until they grow a few more inches. His male is actually my male's little brother.
