Wanting some Multifasciatus shelldwellers (Wichita Falls Tx.)

I have moved from Pa. to Tx. aprox. 6 months ago where I had a 20 gallon tank with 4 adults and tons of baby multi’s, now that we have settled down in Tx. I have decided to get some more but am unable to find anyone who has any at the petstores. I am willing to order on line if anyone has any or…

Convict Cichlid Breeding (black & pink)

I was reading through some posts about breeding convicts and I’ve bred them Many times, but I never knew they were egg layers! In all the times that I’ve found broods of baby convicts, I’ve never noticed eggs beforehand. I now have two female black convicts and one male pink convict. Are they not…

New Fry when will it happen next?

Hi everyone,
It has been awhile since Ive been on here!
So I have had 2 pairs of Kenyi cichlids for a little over a year now. My wife looked into the tank and noticed 3 small fry swimming around the other day. I was amazed! Breeding the fish wasnt our intent, but what a bonus! I now have a few…

Any peaceful community cichlids?

They will be housed with shrimps and a female pair of honey dwarf gouramis. I’m worried about the shrimps as the population is unstable due to the shrimps being new.

I also have a sand bottom. It’s a 60 gallon.

New Batch of Babies

Well my marble convict female and one of her sons have done the deed. They are too small to tell if any of the fry have momma’s marble coloring. I guess time will tell.

Most docile/community chiclid?

If there be any, what is the most docile of the chiclids? I want to get the smallest, most docile possible because they are really the most colorful you can get for freshwater, but I want to limit the possibility it will eat my rainbow shark. The store currently has ones that are the size of a…

37 Gal – what to stock?

Hey guys, I’m picking up a 37 gallon tank soon, and I would like some non-micro, non-disc/angel, and hardy cichlids. What would you recommend and how many of each can I afford to house?

Got my first frontosa!

I’m so excited by this. I’ve been watching these guys at my LFS when I’m in Toledo. I come down here to be with my girlfriends on the weekends. I believe I got a male but I’m not sure. Either way. Beautiful fish. I’m so excited to get him home and in his tank.
