Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / December 2004Anyone care to identift these juvenile cichlids?
Anyone care to identift these juvenile cichlids? http://www.cutecats.co.uk/cichlids.jpg I am wondering what these are, I have 10 in total, a few of each in the picture. I want to add another 10 to 15, of a different Cichlid, hopefully which will become colourful adults. I like the look of the Lemon Cichlid, and I also seen a picture of a deep royal blue Cichlid, cannot recall its name. What do you guys suggest as tank mates for these guys? Regards, Gary. The yellow/black is an auratus - VERY AGGRESSIVE - The other 2 look like electric blues. Nice fish. I'm setting up a 33 gal for cichlids myself. > Anyone care to identift these juvenile cichlids? > http://www.cutecats.co.uk/cichlids.jpg [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Gary. > The yellow/black is an auratus - VERY AGGRESSIVE - The other 2 look like > electric blues. Nice fish. I'm setting up a 33 gal for cichlids myself. Hello, I have observed the behaviour of the fish quite extensively over the past few days. The Auratus are extremely pissed off with each other (there are 3 of them, all difficult to tell apart). One has control of the left side, another the central area, and another the right area under a large internal filter. They seem to enjoy trying to claim more than a fair share of aquarium, and end up chasing each other quite alot. The aquarium is a Juwel Vision 260 litre bow front. I think the dimensions are 48" L x 24"H x 18"W... Which tank mates do you think I can add in with this lot? Thanks for the ID's, Gary. Ooops, At home on new Dell, setup Newsgroup wrong, the name part. Sorry! Gary. Do you think you should consider the size of the tank , with the size of your cichlids, when they are adult, once they start to grew it will not be long before , they will be battleing for territory, and you say your going to double the numbers of fish.. While your tank is only a 4 footer, it might seem huge now, but consider the fish at 4 inches and 6 inches in size. Frankly, 6 to 8 adult cichlids would be enough in a tank of that size. bassett >> The yellow/black is an auratus - VERY AGGRESSIVE - The other 2 look like >> electric blues. Nice fish.
