parachromis

Recently i ordered a couple of breidohri and friedrichsthalli. Its been close to a month and they are eating well. Now that they are about 2-3inches, im getting a bit doubtful about the ID, especially the breidohri. The breidohri seems to have red on the edges of the fins, which seems be...

The moto was a male and the mano was a female. They then spawned. From that I ended up with roughly 500+ fry. They are 5 days old and quickly advancing in development. My local fish stores what nothing to do with these fish because there hybrid and crazy mean. So question is what do I do with...

So ive been wondering when will big daddy see his offspring a threat to his dominance? How long can i keep them in the same tank as the parents? Forever is the answer im looking for aha

We actually say howdy here. :D Since this is an animal keeper forum I'll start by listing my menagerie. I keep some tiny monsters, in the form of a few Apistogramma agassizii. We have half a dozen sweetheart Discus in a community tank with 4 Blue Rams 4 Corydoras and an Ancistrus. I have a...

Just finished cycling my 150 gallon, added a 5" Texas and a 4" Paratilapia Polleni. The Texas immediately started beating up the Polleni, so I returned it to my LFS. The Texas now has the whole tank to himself, and I'm wondering what other cichlids would work with it. Could I try a Jack Dempsey...

I've been looking for the perfect wet pet for my 29 tall, and I've given up so i'll ask you guys. I LOVE PARACHROMIS SPECIES, but none of them can fit in a 30. But that gives you a genre of fish that i'd like. But yeah, I'm asking you guys (and girls) what a good wet pet would fit in this tank.

are there any aggressive south/Central American cichlid pair that I can house in a 75 gallon

Hello, my son recently got a dovii which he has been wanting for quite a while. It is young (few months) and only about 2 1/2". When he picked it out they all looked exactly the same so we could not decipher males from females. Any help would be appreciated if its even possible at this young...

Thank you Craigslist! It's been a long time since I had a proper fish. Picked this guy up yesterday from a very nice family that was moving and breaking down their tank. Ad said 6'' but this guy's looking more like 7 to 8''. I'm thinking we're a male but I've been out of the game a long time.

Today we go over everything Parachromis Cichlids with a very special guest, GuapoteMel. Mel has over 4 decades of experience caring for, breeding and raising every species in the Parachromis genus. He shares his secrets to success with all of us in this monster fish keeping 101. Mel goes over...

I am excited that my Red tiger Motas have paired up and took half the tank up.. seems the male picked the best lady lol

Good evening everyone, I'm looking for some Parachromis motaguensis fry 1-3 inches for my lonely male I believe. He went on a killing spree.

two big males fight

Have had my Dovii pair for over 3-4 years now. I know them pretty damn well. The tank is in my bedroom so I virtually see them all the time. I have finally came to the conclusion that they are just **** parents, I'm so damn frustrated. I know it's always mostly the owners fault but I have tried...

Hi everyone, I ordered some Doviis from Jeff Rapps at TUIC and would like to get some off of my hands. Reason for selling is because I ordered more than I needed (with the intention of increasing my chances at a male). So Im selling the leftover specimens. All appear to be between 2-3" in...

Reposted with proper title

I woke up to half my tank dead. 1 Parachromis friedrichsthalii 2 Amphilophus Lyonsi 1 Amphilophus Labiatus 1 Amphilophus sagittae I had did a water change 9 days and Added API Quick start yesterday because i didnt have any solution. I followed the instructions to a T. It ended in a massacre.

I have 3 parachromis friedrichsthalii which I'm having trouble identifying sex. One I believe to male kinda keeps everyone of them in check. The first one is the one I believe to be Alpha male. The last pic is the same one as the first one.

Hi guys I'm bringing home a a jaguar cichlid tomorrow and I just wanted to put some pictures of her up to see if you all think she's healthy. She looks good to me but never had one before so can't say. I'll be posting updates on her soon :) Thanks

After keeping several LFS style dovii in the past( mutts) I have finally found some nice Costa Rican dovii off of a very reputable buddie of mine. I have gotten a male and a female and I plan to keep these fish long term... As in for their whole lives. They are in a 240 gallon 8x2x2 as of now. I...
