Hi Matthijs.

Those fish are AWSOME!!! Where do you live? Netherlands? I had Septemfasciatus 2 years ago. Very nice fish. And the Altoflavus is just i must have for me. And i love the livebearer. Is it the Rio Subin Meeki?

Regards Beltt

Yes, the meeki's are from Rio Subin.


Altoflavus are lovely, where do you live in Danmark?

Regards Matthijs, Netherlands ;)

Beautiful fish! Love the 1st two, are they closely related to convicts? The panamensis is also very cool!

WoW all those fish are stunning :shock:

what are the scientific names of the first 3 ?
are those typical colors of those species ?
are they all kept in the same tank?


forgive me if these questions are stupid but i've never really payed much attention to CA's until recently

I live in a town called Slagelse about 100 km from the capital. You wouldnt happen to be passing by;-)
The avalability of Central American cichlids is rather limited here compared to the Netherlands. Do you have any luck breeding the Altoflavus?

Many of the beautiful fish we have come from Tillmann in Duisburg, Germany. They can also be descendents from fish gotten there

They housed in a 120cm X 50cm x 40cm, with a group Poecilia salvatoris and a Sturisoma spp "whatever" :wink:

Hello Aladin, good to see you here :wink:

If you want a travel mate to a fish trip down south to the Netherlands, you can count me in. Just find a date and I'm ready :D
