Qattarra Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Beautiful pics of gorgeous fish. I esp. like that first one. I wish I could take pics like that, I get a lot of streaks as they wont sit still and I don't know all the camera functions. Keep those pics coming.

African_Fever Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Great 'bling'! Where did you get the redhead tapajos? I've been thinking about something along the lines of them to go with my rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morhua Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 mmmm Polystigma :drool: Very nice fish I agree, it's a nice fish and that's an awesome photo of one. The tapajos are on my "I want list". I also have to agree with Sue, my fish photos suck ... much respect for all those (like yourself) who can get this type of quality. Maybe I should retire the ol'Instamatic and get myself one them thar new digital machines. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Sweet yellow Lab!! Seeing fish like that kind of makes me want to start a cichlid tank again. I miss my Electric blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitsukuni Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Great pics! Love the firemouth, and I also have Tapajos on the list... I saw them at a LFS here in Calgary on the weekend: PM me if you want the name of the place. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFISHGUY Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) I got the tapajos at Petland in Red Deer. I asked Mark to bring them in for me and he delivered. They are painfully slow growers but the end result will be worth the time. Polystigma is not overly agressive in my tank but he's in with a lot of other bigger predators. There are also some weaker fish in the tank though and nobody picks on them. The nasty guys kind of battle for supremacy amongst themselves while the smaller / weaker fish have their own little battles. They are in a230 gal tank with lots of water movement and filtration. Try this link to see tank: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/tanks/ You have to go to Malawi Haps and click on RDFISHGUY Edited April 5, 2007 by RDFISHGUY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
