Oh no deff still into the hobby hardcore but I have lil time to help on here I have a new baby and now president of our fish club so I stay real busy. Felt like it's time to go.

I'm moving on need to delete my whole profile thanks in advance.:fish2::fish2:

Just to stress the as many part in your statement tangs can not be over crowded like Malawi cichlids they need room or your gonna lose a lot of fish my friend. If you don't care about fry than by all means get a calvus I'm sure some may survive even with out you even trying, most tangs are great...

If you are looking to have any fry I'd keep the calvus out of the mix they are specialized in fry predation trust me I've seen it a hundred times lol! If you are new to tangs go for less aggressive (in a little lesser sense) shellies like brevis or multi's occellatus can be hard on each other if...

All fresh water for now mostly planted aquariums.

Yes guilty as charged:) I wouldn't say it's amazing it was lots of hard work and sleepless nights of studying and no social life lol! But in all honesty it was worth it and looking back I'm crazy enough to do it all again. I've dedicated my whole life to our finned friends. I graduated from UNC...

Yes they do my friend drives an Icthyologist like me crazy. I've never kept the species in question but I have seen them at a wholeseller before and they are beautiful fish with a peaceful temperament.

Do you have a scientific name to which you are referring I know plenty that go by that common name. Another reason common names are terrible too many fish named the same.

I couldn't extremely agree more to that statement so true:) plus you gotta throw tetras in there too best companions for the two mentioned.

Soon as I get a good breeding stock going I'll deff keep ya in mind when I get some extra fry I'll be more than happy to make arrangements with ya.

No my avatar pic is just that a pic I own viejta's but they are type 3 complex of the super reds. Red necks are German made strain not wild. You are spot on about wild type 1 cacatuoides and agazzi they are only colorful in breeding drab other than that molted coloration to blend in with the...

Some of my apisto collection is wild stock I've brought home with me from my two trips to Manaus and the other half from a few trusted dealers online.

Your welcome they are great cichlids to have one of my favs to this day.

Thank you so much I'll post pics of my 125 soon as I get my digital camera back from the wife. Good eyes on the apisto! Always a plus to find fellow dwarf cichlid enthusiast not too many of us around that REALLY know about these little gems which is a shame. They make such great additions to the...

Pseudotropheus elongatus, they are supposed to be nice and slender great cichlid! Their unique body style separates them from others that closely resemble them in the same genus.
