keyhole cichlid

Hey MFK I have a keyhole cichlids whos around a year old, ever since I purchased him with my five others he hasn't grown much and has been at the bottom of the pecking order. Recently he hasn't even been eating, so I moved him to a separate tank so he could eat without getting bullied. However...

Hello MFK! Anyone who's seen my posts knows that I have a 90 gallon tank with a leopard ctenopoma, and six keyhole cichlids. (two of which have paired) I cycled the tank itself in The summer, and added the fish to the tank in July. Until now, there have been no issues with water quality at all...

Hello MFK! I have a 90 gallon tank with a leopard ctenopoma and 6 keyhole cichlids. Two of these cichlids seem to be less dominant, and therefore have not grown much since I purchased them in June. This one in particular however started acting strange recently, and was not very active as all...

Heyo MFK! As mentioned in my keyhole cichlid breeding thread, my keyholes are bound to lay eggs soon, and I'd like to separate the fry once they hatch so my ctenopoma does not consume them. Can any of you recommend a tank-holding box that could hold several keyholes in it? I'm trying to find...

Hello MFK! I've come with rather exciting news - my keyhole cichlids recently laid eggs! I have six keyhole cichlids in a 90-gallon alongside a leopard ctenopoma. I've had all of them since late summer, and recently two of them laid eggs! It's the first time any of them have done so, however...

Heyo MFK! I purchased my 6 keyhole cichlids and leopard ctenopoma when they were very little. Since then, I've been feeding them bug bites and an occasional carnivore pellet for the ctenopoma. However, both the ctenopoma and most of the cichlids are quite larger now, and I'd like to get them on...

Hello there MFK! So, I have a 90-gallon tank with a Leopard Ctenopoma and 6 Keyhole cichlids, all of which are around 5-7 months old. Everyone has been growing great, except for one Keyhole cichlid who has barely grown, if at all. His cichlid friends are about twice his size now, and I'm not...

Hello friends! So, as I’ve said in my 90-gallon tank thread, I’m currently in the process of cycling a 90 gallon tank. (It’s almost complete I believe) I planned on stocking this tank with a Senegal bichir, a Leopard ctenopoma, a bristlenose Plecostomus, and 5 keyhole cichlids. I ordered the...

Hey y’all! This will be the thread where I post updates about my 90 gallon aquarium! I just obtained the tank a few days ago, and got the entire setup for just $300! The setup includes: - 90 Gallon tank with lids - Stand with built in outlets - Cycled Fluval FX6 Canister Filter - LED Lights -...

Hello all! I’m currently in the process of setting up a 90 -gallon freshwater tank, which I plan on stocking with a senegal bichir, a bristlenose pleco, a leopard bush fish, and 5 keyhole cichlids. I’m wondering what foods would be best for these fish? I assume bloodworms would be a good idea...

I've noticed one of my keyholes will turn on its side and start nudging toward a select few of the other keyholes in the tank when they get near it. Does anyone know if this is a territorial behavior or a breeding behavior?

Here's a video of them eating cichlid sticks, I got a little of everyone unfortunately my chocolate was too busy owning his driftwood cave area to come out but I will make a vid of just him tomorrow. My sajica is really getting some nice colors I love it. The Severums have some battle scars bc...
