Beautiful fish. It was easy, I went to the store and asked for the fish. The man put the fish in a bag, I gave the man money, and we parted ways. Now I have another fish. I knew I could do it.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. Sell a man a fish and...?

I feel like I’m most cases he’ll have a meal, but in this case he’ll enjoy it for ten years.

Just as long as it's looked after the right way.

That is a good looking type of fish.

Aye. I want to set up a tanganyika tank, I just love them black calvus. Maybe soon. We’ll see.

Do you find their care very involved? I have guppies and other live bearers that do fine in my heavily planted tank without much maintenance.

I, too, do very little maintenance. Tank’s been running in the basement for about 4 months now, just moved it up into the living room last weekend. I may up my game a bit now since the wife can see it, but just cosmetically. Fish health on my established crew has been fine.

I find colorful fish swimming peaceful to watch.

I didn’t mind having the tank in the basement, but it’s much better in the living room. Now my baby girl has something more fun to look at than the ceiling fan.

That’s an aggressive fish, sir. You be careful.

Should be fine, if he grows up to be a dick I can trade him out for a severum or a couple angels.

Just head down to Florida and catch a few snakeheads for the moat. You have a moat, right?

No not yet, the wife is still picking out a draw bridge.

Cichlids are generally an aggressive fish species. I always wanted to have a cichlid tank.

Kribensis is a good starter, they’ll breed like roaches but you can put them in with just about anything, guys get maybe 3-4”, ladies are about 2”. Easiest community cichlid for sure.

Does it like to move gravel , make burrows n such ?

I had various cichlids in the past , they're fun to watch.

He’s more of a mid level tank guy. The geophagus, earth eater, he takes big ol gulps of gravel. Definitely not a guy you want in a finely scaped tank.

What is your other fish and how big is your tank?

[–] • 0 pt

It’s a 150 with a hodgepodge, had 5 smaller tanks before, but I moved and put everyone in a big home. Couple yo-yo loaches, delhezi bichir, geophagus suranimensis, German ram, fire mouth, sicyopterus macrosteptholepsis, rainbow shark, kuhli loaches, blue phantom pleco, and a few harlequin rasboras that have avoided the bichir so far.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

How long is the pleco?

[–] • 1 pt

I’d say a good 8”. Eartheaters about 10” and the bichir is a foot.
