Some of my cichlid friends...

My scaping skills (or lack thereof), leave much to be desired. And yes, I need to clean the glass. Nonetheless, here are a couple of short videos of a few of my friends (I don't know how to embed these in the thread... so if anyone does, I'm glad to have the assist. Thanks!)...

Jesse!!! Care to post a "how-to" on embedding?

Have to love big tanks. "Babies" indeed - mind your fingers.

How are the bocourti holding up. That Midas is flawless!!

Take the youtube code e.g. 7tJfQHU1CdQ

And put it in the middle of [YT] tags

[TAG]<code>[/TAG]

Replace TAG with YT and <code> with the actual code and it should work.

One gotcha which I think trips a lot of people up is if formatting gets on the youtube code, then it won't work.

As has always been the case when I get fish from you, they are awesome. Their colors are incredible, and they are greedy little eaters... just like I like 'em! They don't care if its veggie matter or not... if they get it in their mouths, its gone! LOL... And they don't let the big guys out compete them for food either!

That midas is a beautiful fish for sure!

Thanks, Tony!

Oops! Guys, I have to make a retraction here. That Midas is not from Rapps. I got it from a guy I consider a trustworthy source, named Freshwaterpredators on MFK. I misunderstood a comment he made. He assures me it is a true midas, but not from Rapps. Last thing I want to do, is cause any undo confusion with a species to which there is already enough confusion. So that said, while I consider this fish a midas due to my trust in Freshwaterpredators, I have no issues with anyone choosing to classify it as a midevil. End of the day, I think he's a gorgeous addition to my collection!

I hope I have cleared that up, and again, sorry for my mistaken claim!

I should also say thanks to two more of my friends (in addition to Zach)... DQ and tparker. Most of the fish in the CA Community Tank came from those dudes, and some from Ira also. Just figured I should give lots of credit where its due, in regards to the excellent care taken of this fish by the previous owners!

Hey Rich what is the fish with the black belly and the other with the black top? Awesome fish bro thanks for sharing

 

[jonclark96]

Looks good Rich! What's the complete stock list on the community tank?

Pete - taking a guess, the one with the black on the belly is a pearsi. Not sure on the other.

 

[rich_one]

Thanks, guys! Jon is right... its a pearsi. The other one you are referring to is a bifasciatus.

[rsretep]

Both are gorgeous Rich

Thanks, Pete!
