I just recently purchased a group of 6 juvenile paretroplus nourissati from my lfs. They were sold as pairs, so I believe I have 3 males and 3 females between 3 and 4 inches long. They are in a 125 gallon tank with a sand substrate, some driftwood, and a large clump of java moss. I use an...

Hey All, I am intently searching for any Paretroplus species I can find for purchase. Does anyone have recommendations on rare fish dealers or breeders that might have some? I've already sourced P. kieneri from Dave's Rare Aquarium Fish, and may be able to get P. menarambo from Dave as well...

Hey guys, I finally had the opportunity to pick up a paratilapia two days ago. I only payed 8 dollars probably because he has some kind of disease. I don't know what it is. I thought maybe columnarus but he's been alive for a while and I know that it is a quick killer. I'd love to keep this guy...

Offered up are my group of 8 Paretroplus Menarambo. These are a Malagasy(Madagascar) cichlid, and they are currently on the IUCN red list as critically endangered. The habitat and numbers of ciclids endemic to that region are in serious danger due to over fishing and environmental issues. The...

Hello all! First post ever, so here we go. Have a group of 13 bedotia madagascarensis that have had one successful hatching of fry approximately 5 months ago (reared 4 to sub adults) while in a quarantine holding tank. They have since been moved to there permanent 53 gallon tank, and has yet to...

I have had some friends say I should do threads for some of my more interesting fish. I know this guy isn't exactly rare, but they're quite uncommon in my area and I see a lot of people asking for information about them. I picked this guy up several months ago now (don't remember when, I'll...

I've been theorizing this for awhile... You take a look at some cichlids, and they look close to almost exactly like some saltwater fish. I've also heard that cichlids can handle and live in decently salty water. I don't know anything about the evolution of cichlids or anything... but if you...

Im about to buy a 100 gallon tank 5ft long about 2ft tall and about 2ft front to back. My plan for the tank is a cichlid tank not african. I was planing to put a jaguar in it with maybe 2 convict cichlids or maybe a madagascar cichlid what type of cichlid would be best with a jaguar cichlid. I...
