Update on my pair preparing to breed [video=youtube;Zc228QDbChM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc228QDbChM&list=UUianvvK3dUQGhYixOV-VZ3w&index=2&feature=plcp[/video]
Lets see those Hypsophrys Nicaraguensis (Nicaragua Cichlid)
- Thread starter Stratoquarius
- Start date
Here is my old male, he was 9-10" about 6 years old. He was killed when some jags (I thought I had two females) spawned.
After he died I purchased 6 young ones. It looks like I have 4 males and 2 females. Here is one of the males.
I will probably get some more, because I want to have several males and several females. Great thread, I love nics and have kept them for years. It is a fish like the meeki, that I just couldent live without. Sorry for the crap pics.

that is an amazing example of a large male Nic. Thanks so much for showing, how old was he?
Also would like to add here that I have made a group for those who wish to show their love for Nicaraguensis cichlid

It looks like you do have 4 males. that largest one on the right is absolutely stunning!
males have the red dots in the fins, the females would already have bright colouration by that size

Thought I would bring this thread back from the dead...
After introducing several females to my male, I finally found one he approved of! The past two females he simply just beat on, however the third one (the one he paired with) turned out to be a little firecracker! As you can see from the pic, she's been doing the beating...
Anyone else breeding these guys?
