Default my cichlids


as you can see, theres 4 in this picture, with the sucker fish if you look closely.

this guy is really sick, these pics are about a month old, I just took him to work (petsmart) the other day to get him treated. hopefully he makes it through.

The tank they're in, in case you were wondering about the size of the tank.. since they were all bunched up for a group-photo.

The last guy, he always hides in the right coral, on the bottom there's a little hole, its his home.

Sadly, he's the largest fish in the tank. at least a foot 3 inches..

Comments much appreciated.

Indeed, he is more than I wanted. I'm not sure if it's normal, but I see him eating the food I feed the cichlids.. probably cause the lack of algae due to his size, but me, not knowing much about fish, it might be normal.



another shot of the monster for ya..

LOL i know seriously...

Imagining THAT in my 10g even is hysterical, yet horrible.

One of THOSE with 2 Red Tails... $@%^!

I even went back to Petco last week to check out the pleco's...
They have "small", "medium" and "large"
You know I figured when I started out that a "small" would work great.
But on closer examination last week they're all the same.
Expected length= 12 inches.

A friend of mine had one that would come to the top at feeding time, flip over and grab the cichlid pellets. He said he could hear him crunching the food.
