cichlid

Saw this very interesting article on mfk. Allot of very popular new worlds have been moved around (genus wise). I'm happy festae officially have a genus. If I had a penny for every different genus I've heard people say festae are in, I'd be a milionaire. :D...

I have a free kenyi to any good tank that wants him. He(i think its a male) started off blue and slowly turned yellow,he is a very pretty fish, about 2.5" maybe 3". The picture doesnt really do him justice. Unfortunately he was a little too aggressive in my peacock/hap tank. I bought him from...

New to us, at least... Recently we were very lucky to take home some Stendker Discus from Batfish Aquatics. I've generally considered Discus shy, touchy, and overrated, but this group is anything but. They are flake-trained and come to the front of the 150 gallon to be fed. Though they...
