Anyone care to identift these juvenile cichlids?
http://www.cutecats.co.uk/cichlids.jpg I am wondering what these are, I have 10 in total, a few of each in the picture. I want to add another 10 to 15, of a different Cichlid, hopefully which will become colourful adults. I like the look of the Lemon Cichlid, and I also seen a picture of a deep royal blue Cichlid, cannot recall its name. What do you guys suggest as tank mates for these guys? Regards, Gary. |

The yellow/black is an auratus - VERY AGGRESSIVE - The other 2 look like
electric blues. Nice fish. I'm setting up a 33 gal for cichlids myself. "Gary" wrote in message ...

... The yellow/black is an auratus - VERY AGGRESSIVE - The other 2 look like electric blues. Nice fish. I'm setting up a 33 gal for cichlids myself. Hello, I have observed the behaviour of the fish quite extensively over the past few days. The Auratus are extremely ****ed off with each other (there are 3 of them, all difficult to tell apart). One has control of the left side, another the central area, and another the right area under a large internal filter. They seem to enjoy trying to claim more than a fair share of aquarium, and end up chasing each other quite alot. The aquarium is a Juwel Vision 260 litre bow front. I think the dimensions are 48" L x 24"H x 18"W... Which tank mates do you think I can add in with this lot? Thanks for the ID's, Gary. |

Do you think you should consider the size of the tank , with the size of
your cichlids, when they are adult, once they start to grew it will not be long before , they will be battleing for territory, and you say your going to double the numbers of fish.. While your tank is only a 4 footer, it might seem huge now, but consider the fish at 4 inches and 6 inches in size. Frankly, 6 to 8 adult cichlids would be enough in a tank of that size. bassett "news-text.blueyonder.co.uk" wrote in message k... "Shamrock" wrote in message ...
