Cichlid of the Month

**Cichlid Man** · 02-25-2006, 02:53 PM

cichlid of the month is finally here!
This is a new part of the forum where you can show off your show specimens to the rest of the world!
You can post anything from your smallest shell dweller to your bigget red devil.
Pictures will be judged not by their picture quaility but by the standard of the fish. Winners will have their picture displayed for one month in the main forum.
If you want to show off your photography skills then wait a while as a new section is coming to the photo forum for this, can't wait.

And remember, a healthy fish is a happy fish.

So be the first to show off your quality show specimen!.

**Osiris** · 02-25-2006, 02:56 PM

Species: Aulo. Eureka, Malawian
Age: 2-3yrs
Size: 4-4.5"
Sex: Male
Feedings: New Life Spectrum with brine/mysis shrimp treats
Status: Alive and kicking!
Please note: This is a split Eureka, containing the albino gene will make regular Eureka's stand out more versus your standard regular Eureka.

It's not the picture, it's the fish. Come on guys post what you have, your pictures might not be as good, but your fish may have a shot.

goodie · 02-26-2006, 09:54 PM

I'd still vote for MP's over mine, but here you go. My OB.

ron v · 02-27-2006, 09:11 AM

I think we should have two contests. One for MP and another for everybody else. LOL. Having a fish that looks like that and a camera that takes pictures like that.... It's just not fair...

ron v · 02-27-2006, 09:19 AM

So be the first to show off your quality show specimen!. __________________ If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded: Serrasalmus Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the exception). I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
