I’m getting a rare cichlid * 1
    #27292790 - 05/03/21 07:37 PM (2 years, 8 months ago)

I’m buying a school of dwarf cichlids from a breeder who captured the parents in Uruguay.  The species is Gymnogeophagus Terrapurpura, it was first described in 2016.  Being as new as it is it’s fairly rare in the fish keeping hobby.  Supposedly pretty durable and will thrive and breed in a wide range of conditions.  Only thing that’s a little different is most keepers put them through a dormant period with cooler water and less food to replicate the winter.

cool fish

when you say it's a dwarf cichlid, is that full grown?

what happens if you don't make it go 'dormant'?

how much does a dwarf cichlid cost?

That's cool. Got a Flowerhorn here and we've been feeding him live minnows. He seems to have decided to keep 3 of them alive as buddies so there's that.

Haha, flower horns are cool.  This will be my first cichlid they’re supposedly pretty good with other small fish.  these guys supposedly stay under 4 inches.  There’s no care sheets about them and there genetics will be so close to the wild so I suppose anything could happen.  I’m hoping they eat cherry shrimp cause I’ve got tons of them and a lot I’m just culling from a couple other tanks.  I got my first ten gallon tank December 2019 and am just addicted, now I’ve got three 20 gallon tanks, a 55 and a 40 and 11 two gallon tanks.  I’ve bred white clouds, they would make good food for bigger fish, I think pet stores will even sell them as feeders.
I guess if they don’t get a cool down period their colors get dull and it may cause them enough stress to shorten their life some.

That's awesome Land Trout. I've been keeping cichlids for years, they are such cruisey and beautiful fish.

Looks like you are on some great sub-species there.

Damn...Residents of Florida shouldn't be allowed to keep pets unless it's a dog or a cat.

Exotic animals are taking over...

Here it is, the guy ended up sending me 7.  I have one pair in a 40 gallon community tank, and the other five are in a 55 gallon tank outside with no heater.  They’re all doing great.  They really like sifting through the sand and they keep it really clean.  This guys got the best color and he’s the biggest and he’s solitary.  They don’t bother any of the other fish, they love cherry shrimp and have character.

What’s your setup THB? I got permission from my wife to do a 48” tank, I’m thinking about doing a Malawi peacock tank. 

This guys the boss of the 40 gallon, I have another male with him, he leaves the tetras a s rainbows alone, but keeps his buddy in the cave.  I’m keeping a few of them outside and their all doing great.

Now I’ve got almost 50. Had a couple pair up and breed this summer. The school of babies is very entertaining. The parents fucking hate each other, The female just keeps the male hidden behind a filter
Here’s the adults in their early summer colors since I deleted my old pics.

Nice Landtrout. I took my cichlid tanks out, but this thread is making me want to put them back in now.
