Tough Cichlid Tank

[Ihsnshaik]

I can't find any true Trimacs here some sell low grade flowerhorn as them but I can tell which are Trimac from the red.

In from Chicago,il. Too bad your not local I would pick up 3 and hope for a nice male. If you got too many fry and want to ship just let me know. I'm a hobbiest as well and have hundreds of red devil fry... Lol

Thank you, I try to sell local (NJ) to avoid shipping as I am more of a Hobbyist, I know how hard it can be to find these (Real Trimacs) and take pride in the fact I can help other Hobbyists find the rarer of cichlids. Ihsn what state are you from? Heres a current Pic of the babies I just took some are almost 3 inches now and they are from 2 different spawns. With Same Male and 2 Females bred almost the same time just days apart. Maybe we can work it out... 8)View attachment 1148449 View attachment 1148450

You mean hard to find here in Canada or Bc? If anyone wants wild caughts I got a friend brought them recently but he is in California lol.

Low grade flowerhorn

As per usual the 25 dollar price tag was too good to be true. It's a good looking fish, but nothing special. The store owner said it's been taken home 3 times and beat up other fish so bad that they ALL brought it back same day. Thanks Ihsnshaik

No problem I actually had one just like that but maybe 8 inches. I went to a pet land and the guy was trying to tell me this is a Trimac since it was labeled one all juveniles. I go no they're just low grade flowerhorns. Manager walked by and he goes man don't buy any flowerhorns from here they're all low grade and put in whatever tank. I remember I got a flowerhorn for like a few bucks because it was labeled wrong lol

I just appreciate the fact that you're confident enough to speak up! I've gotten some serious scores from the same store per their mistake... 5 dollar legit green texas, 6 dollar orange bn pleco... amphi zaliosus for 3 bucks sold as a red devil which he clearly isn't

Thanks Tyler. Pet supplies plus near me sells Texas cichlids for 3.99 and they're beautiful as well. Never got any from there because their tanks are all linked and full of ick in the Oscar tanks.

Yeah so many times mislabeled I bought blood parrots for 3.99 at petsmart labeled as re devils last week.
