Bluecan

thanks , all pics are appreaciated .... if you ever want to get rid of the HRP/Convict pair let me know!

nice!! i would add some more color with another cichlid or two .........even if it means giving up a s. dollar or two or the sharks :P water looks great too good job! sweet set up!

wow nice pics, so they didnt take too long .......thanks!

wow that male is nice ......!! im jealous..

yea they are often both sold under the same name...... "texas or green texas" and often crossed , yours is definetly closer to cyanoguttatus though how big was it when you got him, and how long did it take for him to reach that size?

I think that's Herichthys cyanoguttatus and not Carpintis...... Carpintis have larger pearls and more blue... :smokey: :smokey: ....possible hybrid tho Nice fish tho, and I agree that SYN is crazy nice !! and LOVE the EBJD good job on getting him to the size and healthy !!

heres a pic with his or her tube out, maybe some experts here can give you an opinion on the sexe, i think hybrid breeds cichlids so he may know? cheers

and how often do you go to calgary?......constantly? geez must be nice

sweet, lets see some pics?

nice grab buddy....may need to borrow that female RD from u some day :P ....or if the Tex I gave to the puppet master turns out male you should try making some Red texas' :P ... that Paratilapia polleni is nice to, looks like a cartoon ha

well if he wants some, some just came up in van can be shipped from BC 4-5 inches for $15 each, or 5 for $50 , plus i think its $50 shipping :P

yea glad he/she worked out for ya....sad to let it go but its got a good home which is awesome, and the bright color looks good in the tank especially with the others, good job!

nice! thats HUGE...whered u get your sand? is it just play sand?

nice man! so the Tex is doing ok?......let me know if you ever find out if its male or female

lol no doubt....my car barely got out of there the last time i was there a couple months ago on that rainy day...

another add?? ... and thanks...thats good that he isnt shutting down, last news i heard was several months ago

HEy all, I am from edmonton , ......wondering whats going on with Riverfront aquariums in Calgary? I heard a few months ago they are shutting down at that location......but wondered if he was relocating, also wondering if he is also gone or when he will be?? thanks!

I understand what you're saying, I am just trying to do the research beforehand , ...fill in all the blanks ........What would you recommend for a tank size of tank for these fish? is there a general rule for length of cichlid to gallon of water? What about breeding? .....then is it ok to isolate the pair to a smaller tank i.e 29 gallon? 55 gallon?. I see a lot of pictures online of fish being divided into what i think is a very small space in comparison to the fish within it.... I appologize for my ignorance on a lot things here, i am trying to learn.

alright, thanks for the info.....any idea where I could get the eggcrate?

thanks! ...do you know where i could get it? ...the cheapest?

I would guess the same.. , whats the size of the tank? ok thanks guys........20 gallon, trying to build my way up, only thing stopping me is a move thats going to happen in the next month or two then I want to hit up the flowerhorns then this tank can be a seperator/sick/fry tank or whatever..... thanks again These things can reach 18" I believe. I had one that was 14" and it couldn't be kept with very many fish. That's actually a Cutteri, not a Uropthalamus. ---Mine? or the pic he posted after me? The only thing I dont see on mine even with pics ive looked up of Urophthalamus is the spots going up his side, mine has a few on the tale followed by one large one at the end of the tale, but none on his side? I actually purchased a convict to go with them as a 'dither' but they both attacked him immediatly (GT and False Red T) he was up under the pump, so i put him in the backyard pond with the goldfish for now, he's having a blast lol..for now the remaining two are existing pretty peacefully.. I do believe this is a false red terror though, I guess I will have to wait and find out for proof! thanks guys anyone know any good ideas for aquarium seperators for growing out fish, possibly home made ideas that work and dont look too bad, as i hear the stores charge quite a bit for them.......?! and lastly where I could find flowerhorns/have them shipped to me what my options are? thanks

Hey Guys, Im fairly new to the cichlid world, and picked up a couple green terrors today, after she scooped out the first guy I walked away stating I wanted one more and being distracted by the other tanks, and went to get a tag for my dog , everything was packed up and when I arrived home to add them to tank, I had one green terror and one unknown, im sure somoene can help me identify this fish species and maybe even if its male or female? Thanks!

Yes, ive looked into them as well, but from all i have gathered they dont seem to be very hardy, and they also are pretty exspensive. Also if you want to breed them, I believe a blue male has to be bred to a regular colored female, then you breed a blue to a female of their young to get any blues back yourself..........but im certainly not a pro, ive decided to stay away from them until I can get some more experience

I am thinking 100 + Gallons, would rather my dimensions to be longer rather than tall though. I want some larger fish, however not gigantic either. not much larger than the 12 inch range, a little more
