FS/FREE CA & SA Cichlids PU Frederick MD

So, my recent trip to the ACA convention has left me in a somewhat recurring situation in that I have more fish than I can comfortably house. I need to move out some stuff to make room for the new guys.

The following fish are FREE to club members, $15 each (or group) for non-members:

2 male Chocolate Cichlids (hypselecara temporalis). Both are around 8"

2 male geophagus sp. tapajos red heads. They beat the crap out of eachother, so if you already have a group or some lonely females, these are the fish for you. Both around 5".

1 female (I think) Blackbelt (veija maculacauda). Around 6".

1 group (4M, 2F) cryptoheros sp. Honduran Red Point hybrids. They are pretty fish, spawn all the time in my 180, and originally came from MonteSS about a year ago. The mother of this group is most likely a mixed HRP/Convict. Take it for what it is, but they are not pure HRP and shouldn't be sold as such. Males 4", females 2.5"

1 group paratheraps hybrids. I picked these up in the CCA auction last year as synspilum, but they don't appear to be so. Around 5".

2 keyhole cichlids (Cleithracara maronii). I suspect they are both males, around 4". They are in a tank with some more active south americans and aren't happy. Need a cool fish for your planted tank? Take these guys off my hands

I group of herichthys carpintis (3 females, I think). The largest is around 5", the other 2 are 3.5".

Let me know if you are interested. Pick up from my house in Frederick. I'd like to move these guys out before the picnic. I know it would be easy just to take them home with you if you come, but I don't know how much time I will have to net fish out of big tanks with a bunch of people at the house. Shoot me a PM if you are interested. I'd happily take some wild type swordtails in return if you have some to spare. Also looking for big powerheads that are in good shape.

I also have:

6-7" uaru
2 male Green Terrors. 1 5", 1 4" (and they don't get along at all).

Hey Jon,

Think those keyholes would be ok in my 150?

jonclark96 · 07-30-2012, 10:47 AM

They'd be happier in the 45. I have them in my 120 with krobia, acaras, and rainbows and they get bullied. Your 150 might be a little busy for them.

Hmmm. I could see them punking my discus... plus that tank is already pretty darn full.

Seeing as how I'm not sure how long it'll be before I get another large new world tank set up, I'll hold off for now, Jon. Thanks though.

Keyholes won't punk discus. They'll hide in the plants

I'd love to get the keyhole cichlids from you. I have a planted tank that is 75g and the only larger fish would be the angels. How do they do with small fish though like tetras and rasboras?

They would do fine with tetras. I have not found them to be aggressive towards much of anything. They're yours if you want them.

I have a pair of keyholes in a planted 40b. The tank is full of serpae and lemon tetras and a trio of rasbora hets. The keyholes pay them no mind.
