my Cichlid tank

Unread post by sushant »

i have always been fascinated with cichlids, and this has led me to tried my hands on everyone of the i got my hands on. but since i'm no longer staying at my native place and m parents are unable to dedicate much time in maintaining the tanks thus had to reduce the no. of tanks until i was left with a single one. here are some of the pics of of my last cichlid tank:
the inhabitants are 3 blood parrots and a large upside-down-catfish

nice! Red parrots are interesting looking things, but since they are an extreme hybrid and often dyed, it is difficult to decide one should encurage their being sold or not ;) they have such a jolly expression in your pics.

adnaan these fights are short lived (atleast in my tank) probably because of plenty of hiding spots and at times looks like they are enjoying it. the 5th pics does not show dominating nature, rather its a race for the best spot in the tank :D
