Great shots Tdevil I too started w/FW. I keep Bichardis off and on that grew to about 4". They are my favorite ciclids

 

THOSE FISH LOOK GREAT! 8)

I love cichlids.

i love them too, Matt

it is hard to get pics of the bredder Fron's, they only come out everynow and then, i sold most the the breeders to start the reef tank so i only have 1 male and 2 fem, but i have about 15 or so of there offspring these are F1's

the first pic, are still babies, right is 1 year old (side shot), middle 2 and they one to the far right are 2 years old, and the left is 3 years old

i will get some pics of my others (that i have left) when i have time, its only Monday and i allready have 14hrs in @work, they day flies by when you work a lot

They look like pretty nice fish, i think chiclids are some of the nicest freshwater fish especially color wise.

 

The picys look great, i love chiclids, i have 5 convic chiclids and they breed every couple of months.

I have alot of angelfish which also are chiclids.
I also have 2 hugh green Severums and the male is the size of 2 of my hands put together.

 

i had a red devil and my fist could almost fit into his mouth, and a gold severm of the same size, and a lot a baby parots , i still have a green severm that i keep with a wimpy female frontosa that doesnt want to breed, but thats another story

Sara, i also use to breed convics, i love the way they protect there young

Dave, angles are about the only fish that i havent had, dont know why, i love there pec fins, the only thing that i can think is there not as agressive as the rest of my fish, which would mean i would have to set up another tank, which i did for a breeder par of black calvus's and my pearly white calvus's (Altolamprologus calvus), which they bought my LR for my reef, hated to see them go but i didnt have the time to take care of all the tanks i had running at the time

ok i will shut up, had to buy a new computer so i havent been able to talk to anyone for a few days (Atholon 3200, 64 bit) this thing is fast, still have to load everything up

have a good night/Sunday all
