I am taking pictures as I go- I can't post any in these forums or access my profile to add albums, and this is only one of my current projects, my others are a 90g coldwater, a 60g high tech fully planted Southeast Asian blackwater biotope, a 65g aquascape and a 55g oscar and cherax lobster feature, Mississippi style. Once these are all either done, I hit a major stumbling block or I can post photos and albums to my profile with the mobile version I'll post when I get a chance to link to my 'puter....
I just got a baby jack Dempsey and a breeding pair of gold convicts in trade for my sd pacu and I traded my pictus for a group of 3 purple diamond pacu- 3 1/2 inches- plus I've got a deal with an lfs to raise them to 8 inches and I get my choice of Amazon giants during juvenile stage to raise to adult for bringing them back at 8 inches plus a replacement pacu. I guess it helps his business out by more than tripling the price he can sell it for without having to pay to raise them out of pocket. Doesn't matter to me- I get the most awesome of awesome Amazons that are the perfect size and I get to change them whenever they outgrow my tank for a different species I'm a happy aquarium junkie!!! and my hubby is happy I won't have to cough up any money to satisfy my scientific mind to see species interactions at different stages and am now loving Amazon creatures more and more as I interact with them. I have to say, though, Southeast Asian biotopes are still my favorite to sit back and watch, but they are difficult to care for, but not as messy as cichlids or goldfish. Lol, just an observation...

Sounds good! Gold convict ?? Never heard of them no trace of them on web is this some kind of new variation via selective breeding Cuz I've only seen oink and marbled
Most likely just a leucistic color morph. Which is pretty common in most fish.
Yup!! It's similar to the new lemon/ yellow oscar variant. They look like the black/ blue and white convicts only they are yellow and white, and they are VERY mild mannered compared to the rest of my current sa cichlids, which is so funny because Gino is the first oscar I have raised that has fit the aggressive territorial jerkface spoiled big baby- he will only eat handfed cichlid sticks, sundried river shrimp and will nibble on watermelon while he plays ball with a melon ball and beats you'll

Darn phone- correction, beats up all tank mates that even look at him, other than his hunting buddy the lobster. All my other oscars have been pretty mellow and haven't bothered any separate species with their shenanigans... Gino is one big, grumpy and sadistic oscar... And I'm in love... I have a Dempsey who is being community raised and hadn't
Yep those are all leucistic fish, it's a byproduct of selective/line breeding in fish. If those convict pair off they won't be mild mannered for long, just gotta love those CA cichlids.
