Dwarf Cichlids!

[Fibsog]

These are my GBRs. Ariel and Eric! Yes I have two little girls obsessed with The Little Mermaid right now! These are by far my favorite fish in our tank

Beautiful fish!

A few months would be adult size. Two or three months they usually will be big enough to breed

Yeah I've had mine for about a month and he's grown quite a bit. Def a couple months before they are full size an mature I'd agree

Ive had my GBRs for 3 months and male is still only 2 inches but the female is 3 and i think fully grown.

Anyone keep any dicrossus or nanochromis?

Anyone keep any dicrossus or nanochromis?

I have kept dicrossus maculatus before, but I had two males, one killed the other, and then I transferred my remaining male to my 75 where he simply didn't thrive and ended up withering away for some reason, no clue as to why

 

[severum mama]

I've got a proven pair of dicrossus filamentosus and a few juveniles. I got them at an auction recently. I lost one of the juveniles but the adults are doing well.

 

[Fishman007]

Are my pair mature? 4 months old...











Sorry for the bad pics, so hard to get them to stop moving!

Also does my male look stressed? He has been like this for a week or 2.

So I lost my female Apistogramma Macmasteri today. I was wondering what website does anyone know where Thats good so I can order one online because my local fish store only sells them in a male and female pair. I want to replace my female So my male has a buddy. Thanks in advance.

Check aquabid, if you don't see one message apistodave he probably has one. Be aware most places have taken winter shipping rates since it's cold in some parts so shipping will be one or two day only and expensive

Guys can anyone answer my Q?

Mature probably, as for stressed defiantly those bars aren't just there with normal coloration

So he is stressed? The female is always chaseing him and he likes to hangout around the top of the tank, he eats well and hand feeds. I feed omega 1 flakes, bloodworms 2 times a week, and algea wafers every other day for my loaches. All my perams are good, my temps at 82f

Are you sure they are male and female? Defiantly stressed from something. You say your parameters are fine but what are the exact numbers?

Nitrate- 5
Ph- 7.8
Yes, i asked you guys before he had stress signs and you said male and female. The female and all the other fish are fine

Well then the female must be to much for him. Try taking her out and rearranging decor then putting her back in.

Ok i will, where should i put her? During feeding the male and the female kinda rub against each other next to their favorite rock. But then the male will nip at her and then she will chase him away

 

[absolutangel04]

So, barely a dwarf. But, oh well. Laetacara thayeri. He does not like to pose for the camera. >.>

 

[Mikey214]

Where do I find apistodave so I can message him ? I searched users on here and he isn't coming up

Bars are normal. But not that dark. A horizontal line connecting each are their "stress line". Which it is displaying also.

My female was randomly like that for a while. Not sure why, but one day she was normal again.
