Fire mouths are pretty but the fav is my two new T BARS.

 

[catfishmike]

discus and blue rams are cool.i like a lot of the geophagus group.
what's up on that red empress?they seem boring as all get out.do they get better color as they get older cause we got a whole tank at work and there aint no red to 'em.kinda young still though

well i have kept most cichlids over 20 years and i must say my fave has to be Nimbochromis Linni
closely followed by livingstonii and polystigma
but my all time fave fish is the redtailed catfish that i got as a baby and grew to just under 4 feet long
sadly she is no longer with us as there was a major accident with the tank she was in i walked her up and down the tank for 6 hours trying to save her but it didnt help as she died shortly after i stopped (the peruno cat in with her got an intestine problem and its gut expanded and split the fish wide open in the tank thus poisoning the tank ) and yes i cried at the loss of her
my fave tetra is the rummynosed tetra btw

I'm truly sorry about your Redtailed Catfish... they look like awesome fish. I'm a fan of catfish, being from Florida; we see a lot down here. Just about the only things tough enough to survive the bad water, besides Alligators.

She certainly didn't die due to lack of effort on your part.

ty david for your kind words
yes they are truly awsome fish very freindly as well

 

[DavidBeoulve]

Heh heh no problem, Commissar. And don't take my rant on grammer personally, either. Like I said, everyone feels like stepping on the old table and waving their baggage around... makes them feel better about what they believe in

Which is ludicrous, really, to need to feel better about what is good for us by inflicting it on others (laughs). I'm such a hypocrit.

CONVICTS ARE MY FAVORITE CICHLID!
