    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

    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.

    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!
