welcome lighter
i just got a few motaguense babies
are you interested in central american cichlids?
Ah...the dovii.
Very big. Very Aggressive. For the "guy with the big *** tank" so to speak[]
One day, i will keep one...i will.
Here is somes dovii pics...
Mez
Currently keeping many wild betta species and other anabantoids.
What is the fish doing in the kitchen? The guy is going to cook it?[]
hi lsz,
Cool where did you get those babies?
What central american cichlids are u giving up?
My dream cichlid...
I wanted to keep this cichid after seeing a pic. of it some years back.
But I cannot afford to keep such a large cichlid ...
haha i am not giving up any cichlids i have now!
and the Dovii, although i like guapotes i also think that they are ugly also...
The Guapote i like best is the Umbi.

Hi LSZ, can let me know where you get your cichlids? I have an impulse to restart cichlid keeping.

Simon that wolf fish you posted ... not available in singapore.
THe piranha was banned due to the obvious potential hazards if released
this guy is not as dangerous,
and i think the main reason is that nobody knows much abt it...let alone most fish shop owners
chris, my cichlids are from all over and they are mostly accidently discoveries. It is a huge challenge to get many of them here.
You should know Jeff Repps. If there are ppl interested, i do not mind grouping with friends and perhaps try to work for bringing certain species in. You can get almost all the CA you want from him
But the main problem abt keeping CA cichlids is space. A major problem in fact
lsz, its piranha-liked? i read an article on breeding this fish in TFH..looks cooler than a piranha
colin, dun be a joker
I dont think it behaves like piranha ....which is a characin and behaves like one.
Wolfish is actually a characin too...loosely.
ANd it is a primitive form of it.
ALthough a characin, it doesnt school ard like its distant cousin above.
and actually this fish is a bit like soon hock! but looks much more cool haha. So what you have is an aggressive looking Soon Hock and sits around, look fierce and ambush prey. Unless to the most devoted and interested owner, interest or novelty in this kind of fish may wear out..
Esp when they need their own tank, are big and not exactly attractive. It is the classic room/basement tank kind of fish..and normally in other tanks will be electric catfish, some snakeheads, eels etc
but i agree this fish is cool. ANd Japs are esp crazy over primitive fish like this.
I used to get most of my cichlids at a farm at Tampines before they closed open sales.
I can not afford to import fishes...
Currently I had 2 red devils youngsters, a female pink convict and 2 luohans(looking more like trimacs, fortunate or unfortunate?).
Space and filtration are my concerns too.
yeah space is the main problem..
well my tnk is like a WW2 battleground.20 odds cichlids in my 3.5 tnk.hahaha.Jaguar,oscar,cuban,red devil,frontosa,seruvem etc.Chris should know my condition.
LH is the power to the dark side.LH leads to fear.Fear leads to anger.Anger leads to hate.Hate leads to suffering.....
well anyone want to share money to import this species cos the air freight is god damn high.
LH is the power to the dark side.LH leads to fear.Fear leads to anger.Anger leads to hate.Hate leads to suffering.....
Never mind, after I settle the angelfish, my 3-ft tank will be opened to your bigger American cichilids.
Forget about the dovii, your tank can barely keep one.
And what a day yesterday!
