Wow! Cool! Can't wait to see pics!
Are your c. afra starting to color up yet? If so, if they look like this then it's probably a cobue   LOL Mine are supposed to be...LOL so they should be! I have 2 that I don't think are....but the guy did send me 3 extra fish w/my order. This post has been edited by kj23502: Mar 30 2008, 03:13 AM |

Ok im getting pics tmorrow so I thought Id update you on the fish I bought after the past week or so:
3x Auratas (I know these are agressive and will be ridding of them soon I think) 2x Syndontis Petrolica, Adding another 2/3 Next thursday 2x Yellow Labs 4x Apple Snails XD 4x Scolofi Going in on monday and Ive bought some more rock aswell... So basically ive been warned about the Auratas agressiveness and that they are little sods, But I kinda feel sorry for them. My Afra is a serious bad boy and dosent take no aggro, he has got all three of those auratas under control and its been 4-5 Days, I was really suprised at how agressive the Afra has been, but he isnt going out of his way to get them its only if anything goes in his cave. I can tell he is the dominant male just by his colors. Pics Soon Many Thanks Ace Of Spades |

Aren't the cichlids soo fun
 They really do have their own personality!!  My pundamilia nyererei is the boss of my tank(and he's smaller than the male afra!)!!  The big male afra in the pic above doesn't come close!!Lucky you!!! I can hardly wait until I can get some syno's!! Can't wait to see some pics!!  How are your water parameters? |
