Anyone have Cichlids?

[NoahsMommy]

We have 2 in our 15 gallon tank.

Here is Susie (named after our fabulous vet!):


And here is Cecelia (named after my friend who is as beautiful on the inside as this fish is on the outside):

Anyone else have Cichlids??

I don't have any, but they are beautiful fish!

They are beautiful and entertaining. When I turn the light on, they get all active and when I touch the glass, they follow my fingers.

The only downside is that they are really aggressive, so I can't add any fish.

They are beautiful, Kelly! We only have one fish, Otto, a Betta, who is a new addition to our family (he's Helen's baby).

I don't have any fish right now and have never had cichlids, but I love them! Yours are just gorgeous! I like how you have their tank set up too, very pretty

Yours are beautiful! I almost got a blood red cichlid (i think that's what they're called) They red cichlids are beautiful. When they are young, they are a pale red/pink color. And when they grow up, they become a bold dark red.

I have three. They are all African Cichlids. I have two frontosas and one Neolamp. All three are very aggressive.

The Neolamp (Eugene) is about 7 inches long right now and the Frontosas (Lilo & Stitch) are about 4-5 inches but they will be between 10-12 when they are full grown. The tank was dirty in this picture When the frontosas get bigger they will get a really pretty blue color and a big hump on their heads.

This is Lilo (frontosa)


This is Stitch (frontosa)


And this is Eugene (neolamp)
