What kind of Cichlids do you keep?

I had a very large jack dempsey for a few hours one time. I went back to get him for my 40 and he was already sold.

I've had a pair of neolamprologus brichardi once. I bought them thinking they were neolamprologus shell dwellers, but quickly found out what the sales person told me wasn't exactly true. They we're extremely aggressive and wouldn't allow anything else in the tank, so I traded them in on some different fish.

I've tried my hand at angelfish a few times, thinkin I could successfully aclimate them, but haven't had any luck.

I've kept my eye out for some multies, but when they do come around, they wither aren't for sale or are 20 - 30 dollars a piece.

I currently have a 55g dempsey pair, a 10g convict tank, and I'm also trying to start a 55 tang community tank at the moment.

I have blue rams... = Dwarfs? :huh:
Not up with the cichlid terms. ;)

Rams are indeed dwarf Cichlids. Some of the prettiest as well. They are great little guy's for planted tanks.

AAO

OSCARS

Angels and Africans

Convicts, Blue Acara, Discus, Angefish, BP's, Severums.......

I have dwarfs, then. :)
4 boys 4 girls in my 80 gallon... However, they seem to enjoy going in the overflow, which is about 3 gallons... :mellow:

Lol if that is what they like I guess at least you are giving them what they want.

4ft tank in out living room, with lake tanganyikan chiclids in. Our mouth brooders (cyprichromis leptosoma) have some babies in a fry net, adn some more on the way.

:o

sniff. Central American Cichlids, but they're not listed to vote on. :(

Hey fish fry if you have CA cichlids you have the the big boys. LOL

I'm so proud that no one checked "what's a cichlid"

Lol yeah would have been a bit embaressing for them.
