Aquatopia Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Hi From my dim and distant past interests in cichlids (in a minor way), i seem to remember seeing pics of a biotype tank containing some small cichlids which looked like blockheads (had a lump on their head), but these little fellers only grew to about 4". Can anyone tell me what they might have been ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 probably Steatocranus casuarius It's an African river dwelling cichlid Have a look at the link below: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/s_casuarius.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquatopia Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hi Frenchie Thanks for that (is the nick from "Grease", lol). Do you know anyone who has some i could maybe get a mating pair out of? I see there is ONE in a store up there but i am guessing you would need several ? Or are they sleep-arounds and all you need is any old male and any old female, lol. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
