Thanks, what kind of crenicichla is your profile photo of?

yea im pretty confident now that it is a Crenicichla lugubris Atabapo and not the Crencichla sp. Atabapo I or II but a beautiful fish yes.

Favorite Hard to pick a favorite, I have had Alexander the Flagtail for almost two years so he has a soft spot, but my larger ocellaris Bass Napoleon I raised from a half inch fry who was getting bullied and almost killed in his original hatching tank and love how large and magnificent he is...

Thanks! Thanks man! I got some shots of the wolf fish when he came out and a better look at my two little orinos...

Wolf fish only comes out of his cave at night and floats up in the plant you see floating in the top of the tank will get a good shot of him later

Big Daddy Bass Napoleon and Alexander the Flagtail....

Two Orino's Growing Out...

When theres feeders around the Atabapo Pike gets this dark black line down his lateral side and through his head looks awesome...

Ocellaris and the smaller Mono plus some group shots...

The Female Tapajos Red Pike hides all the time from the aggresive Atabapo male so was hard to get a shot. Got one of her in bag and others she is only peeking!

Hi there. Just some iphone pictures to start, but will take some high quality stuff eventually and a nice close up of all the fish. Let me know what you think. Just got the new tank up and running after the move to a new house, very sadly, had some cycling issues and lost my 6 month old tigrinus...

Not to backtrack if youve moved on by now, but if you have a realistic plan for a smaller end Bass set up it can work beautifully. I have a 150 gallon with a flagtail prochilodus, 2 peacocks and 2 pike cichlids. I also have 2 orino bass in a 75 gallon until they are large enough to not be...

seems to be right thanks! got some better shots in the light tonight anyone have personal experience with these or similar crenicichla?

Got some pics pretty dark though, can anyone ID? When he is in light and excited he also gets a thick black lateral line that runs throughout his whole head and down his entire length...

Hi there, I currently have two Pike Cichlids in my 150 gallon tank. One is a male at 8" and was sold to me as a "Purple Pike Cichlid" which I know does not exist as labeled, but being a huge Pike Cichlid species fan recognized the fish at 100$ as a probable steal. I am waiting right now for...

going well Hey there, so after a number or wc and close monitoring and adding lots of old gravel etc. tank has been up now for 8 days and all levels have stayed perfect last 2 days so hoping all my bacteria colonies are well established in the two fluvals by now. Question for you all though, my...

Thanks so much putting some wet gravel in now and doing one more big change. Down to 2.0 ppm now thanks again

So basically the reason the ammonia spiked so crazy when not cycled enough With previous biofilter is that once adding fish even though levels were perfect, There normal amount of waste / living energy wasn't broken down at all because the bacteria that usually does this in my old tanks and...

Thanks for article too if that is really all I can do. I don't know why the ammonia levels aren't reading half after the wc though. It did drop from .8 clearly to .4 but now no big changes. Going to try getting gravel from the old tank and seeding it in the sock.

Thanks So just dropped three large ornaments and three smaller ones that I Had removed which were in there old tank hope that might help and have Their old biowheel on and running. Ammonia Still testing at 4.0 but looks maybe tiny shade lighter. I have prime but should I add some still you...

attempts Anyhow know this is bad time of night for lot of responses, but please let me know anything. I am using purigen and nitra zorb from the old tank in fluval and thought there was enough in their for bio filter but guess not. I just drove 30 minutes to the old apartment that I have for...

My poor Jub-Jub, a 5 inch Firemouth Cichlid, used to completely run my 125 gallon tank. Alas, how the mighty have fallen. Poor Jub-Jub was a little too aggressive apparently and about two months ago I realized he had significantly broken his jaw and his mouth was completely lopsided and looked...

I am slightly concerned...I have not seen my smallest loach Wadjet in almost 2 days now I'm afraid Nero is the only possible culprit alas
