Taeniacara candidi from C328

[barmby]

I saw him last week in C328 It is a waste to see this fish kept in a small plastic container. Hope someone buy this Candidi for his/her show tank. The fish is full mature and stunning.

Why didn't you get him?

[Jungle-mania]

I can't disagree on that. But buying the fish up would mean another will suffer the same fate after it.

They are very aggressive. My sole apisto pair in my tank will either be killed or kill it

[exotic_idiot]

Is it a pair?
A lot of fishes are kept in very limited space...
I went yest too.. Saw a tank full of dead killifish & tetra just turn me off..

I think the female died.

[illumnae]

They had more than 1 pair of this i believe? I didn't get them as dwarf cichlids generally have a rather short lifespan (2-3 years max?) and I believe such large specimens are usually nearing the end of their natural lifespan. Just a personal safeguard

I saw it too, a pretty good specimen. But I had the same thoughts as Yi Xiang, a little too big but that's just my personal opinion. If they were smaller I would have grabbed them. I remember seeing more than one pair of T. candidi as well.
