The Cichlid Room Companion

Congratulations Willem, now you have a "dry" fish room.

Nice ndole James.

Thought I give a little update. I finally received the kieneri fry and I'm a very happy guy. Here are some (not so great) photos. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/buntbarsch/Madagascar/kieneri-10.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/buntbarsch/Madagascar/kieneri-11.jpg http://img.photobu...

Thanks Zenin. I have them since about 6 month.

Thanks guys.
The eggs only lasted a day but it sure was nice watching them. It was their first spawn.

When I took over these Discus from a friend, all I wanted is to see if I could keep them alive. Well, I guess I can........... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/buntbarsch/SA-CA%20Cichlids/discus-5-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/buntbarsch/SA-CA%20Cichlids/discus-10.jpg http://img...

Amazing shot Lee.

Thank you Willem, I was hoping you would react

Frank, you may have a point there....

Frank, I agree with you 100%. However, I have explained the workings and structure of the DCG in the ACA forum many times but there is no interest. Maybe I did not explain it properly but even though, it is VERY obvious that the DCG concept works perfectly and I don't understand why nobody looks int...

Mo, being a member of the ACA for a good number of years, I appreciate very much your efforts and time spent to turn this association around. I also appreciate your willingness to accept criticism as a positive thing and use it as an advantage. However, I also believe that you are fighting an uphill...

Well, this discussion needs to be continued. :) I have received a pair as Cryptoheros spilurus but was reminded by Dr. Hannerman that these fish could be Cryptoheros chetumalensis. Here are some photos of my fish and I hope that somebody will give me a proper identification. http://img.photobucket.c...

These fish belong to a good friend of mine and come originally from France. They breed willingly and I look very much forward to some of his fry. The behavior of these fish is very interesting, especially the feeding. They stick their head in the substrate and shake it side to side to look for snail...

Beautiful fish and awesome pictures Ray. Thanks for showing them to us.

Any chance to post a picture?????

The dark striping on the sides are similar to the namansi but looking at the coloration they are closer to the chaitika. There are very few Tropheus with a blue dorsal fin. Most have a red dorsal, some a yellow dorsal this intense blue I have only seen in Chaitikas. I have never seen Tropheus colore...

Hi Henrik, nice to have you here.

Great photos.

My fingers are crossed for you Willem. It's high time for you to enjoy your fish again.
