cichlids

I've been searching LFS around my area and so far have not had any luck. I was referred by an LFS owner and a forum member to try posting here. I am trying to find shell dwelling cichlids near Gaithersburg, MD. I'm willing to drive a reasonable distance to get them, but do not want to pay...

Interested in the following (tank raised only): 1. 3 white calvus (ideally 1M:2F). 2. 8 gold occies (ideally 2M:6F or 3M:5F). 3. 8 yellow labs - Lions Cove 1 (I think those are the ones that have no white on the bottom. All yellow with the black fins. That's the one I want)...

Hi everyone. I'm planning on making an order from Reserve Stock Cichlids in the near future. If anyone is interested in a group order, please let me know. We can save on shipping and Doug has been kind enough to give a little discount. Doug's website is http://www.reservestockcichlids.com/ if...

Hi everyone. I have a 55gal. with crushed coral and going to TFW Saturday to get a bunch of Texas Holey Rock for the tank. Before i buy any fish from them i wanted to see if anyone here has any willing to sell. I really dont want full grown fish, so babies and juvies would be cool. Would be...

Does anybody (in the world) keep North American Cichlids like we keep Africa, Central and South American cichlids? Aren't bluegills, pumpkinseeds and other bream cichlids? Aren't they colorful? How about hybrid North American Cichlids?

Howdy, y'all. First post. I bought a cutteri (I think, it's hard to tell in this genus apparently) from my LFS in Annandale. I'd like to get a couple more from a different stock. Anyone have any? I'm not sure what gender mine is, so was looking to get a few and let them figure it out. Thanks!

I'm looking for the following: Apistogramma borellii Apistogramma agassizi Microgeophagus altispinosa Microgeophagus ramirezi I'm in Howard County MD.

My Victorian cichlids seem to like the red hair algae I have been trying not to grow in my tank.

Looking for suggestion s for a colorful cichlids for a ten gallon tank. The tank is in my daughters room ad she said they have to be colorful. I don't think shellies will do. Not enough color.

So went to Tropical Fish World yesterday to take advantage of their awesome 50% off African sale this weekend and ran into Andrew. By then, they had sold a ton of fish, but one tank caught my eye. It had a group of 2.5" juvies labeled hexichromis something.../trout cichlid. We talked a bit...

George talked about it last month and if you are itching to go and can't wait until next August - nearly 10 months from now!!! There are a few spaces available on the winter collecting trips - actually the "summer" wet season in Peru. Fares to Iquitos have never been cheaper - just $547 round...

Are there any cichlids that will do well in colder water, say mid 60s to low 70s? And by well, I mean I'd be able to breed them at those temps. Thanks. Joel

I just moved my 7" male Grammodes and 5" female Grammodes from a 360 gallon community tank to a 90 gallon tank with hopes of getting them to breed. The female have laid eggs in the 360 gallon tank, but the other cichlids would eat them, although at the time, I didn't care because I wasn't trying...

Other than a few discus, some german blue rams, and a lone angelfish in our community tank, my wife and I are newbies to keeping cichlids. My wife has wanted to get a 55g-75g cichlid tank for a while (you know, all those pretty blue and yellow and purple fish :) ), and we may now have an...
