beautiful fish

goodness those are quite interesting fish

I totally want a zonatus but get conflicting reports about them. From outright killer to easygoing. They are such beautiful fish, its hard to capture the iridescence of these with pictures.

Ya but that female sure looks nice, doesn't she?

Yes she does. You cichlid keepers make me wish for larger tanks

Imo there's always room for a 6 footer in everyones house. DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!!!!

My husband has limited me to 2 tanks. Or less. I think I'll have to wait a while to change up my tanks. So, for now, I'll just live vicariously through the pictures you guys post. And plot my future tanks.

Thank you all for your great comments.

Pretty fish -- I really like the Hoga shots.

Ya, they love to move the babies around. They dug a nice pit to move them to.

Took some more photos today. Hope you enjoy.

Thank you. I take great pride in keeping my fish happy and beautiful. Always looking for the perfect tank mate combination to bring out the best in all of them. I am constantly looking for the most beautiful fish. It takes a lot of my time to keep them all happy, but well worth it.

When people come over to see them, it makes me feel like a proud papa to show them all off. Still not done, lots of visions of expansion. Hopefully by next Summer I will be able to expand my 200sq' fish room, into a 650sq'.

That is a pic of both. They are sad. But come Friday, I will be choosing a mate for one them. Then the other 2 may be up for sell.

Thats great to hear. Enjoy those little buggers.

I will, I was excited to learn that the isletas are from lake nicaragua. So they will go in with my loisellei, and black belt. In the 150 when I set it up.

You should feel like a proud papa when people come to see your fish, they look great and you have an awesome stock. I especially like your geophagus . I'm kidding, I'm pretty jelous of those regani and of course your istlanum.

VERY NICE.

Now thats what I am talking about, those are some awesome fish. What a collection. Very, very nice.
