Update: Ive rehomed the young jack dempsey, and 1 of the 2 Nic cichlid. The other Nic is going next Saturday. 2 Brichardi males staying. Im going with a Tanganyikan tank, I was fortunate to acquire a young Calvus last Saturday along with 3 baby Lucipinnis catfish, planning to rescape tank and...

I am emptying my 60 breeder of dithers, angelfish and EBa into 75 gal, to place 1 barely 2” Calvus, 1 small 2” Lucipinnis into. I also own 2 young 10 months old, 2 3/4” Brichardi that I raised. Positive they are both male. They are now in 75 with a couple of CA cichlids I’m rehoming. I don't...

Thanks! Appreciate tour insight very much. Im going to rehome the bigger two Nics as soon as possible and hang on to the younger male and baby JD for a bit, they hang out together right now. I will see how that goes. Im enjoying this forum very much.

Losing your dad is very difficult, as a daughter you just dont realize how strange life is with your dad no longer in it. Im very sorry, and will pray for you and family. Gods strength/peace be with you in spite of the horribly busy sad time you’re in the midst of.

My main concern is hanging onto these 3 for long enough to pick out the best specimen, since my theory of “buying 5 juveniles will surely get me a female” didn’t work. Because I have no source for them except shipping across long distances…the store I got them from had them marked curviceps...

1st pic dominant male ( look directly above him to left and you'll see 1 of my very small brichardi male, yes Tanganikan, but not causing issues), 2nd pic Jr. male with subdominant male directly above, 3rd pic Jr male showing his colors, 4th pic subdominate male

Hi Ive just joined, as I read a thread from January between Wills and ChasingFish about Nics. My intro explains more about how I got 5 juvie males but I need advice. I picked up 5 juveniles at a fish store an hour away 2 months ago. I knew nothing about them… Ive got 3 left, 2- 5” nose to tail...

Thank you, enjoying being here

Also Neolamprologus multifasciatus, shell dwellers, and they like hard water.
