Pegasus Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Ha Ha... Thought you "didn't" name them.. I dont name all of my fish but the tiger oscar is called Archy and the chocolate cichlid is called cadbury Recon you would be hard pressed to find someone with an Oscar that is un-named Great stuff Herc.. and as mentioned.. wonderful clear photos. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I fink she means the Fish Name, not the name you called them! :-D Lol, my bad :roll: Ok from the top.. Tiger oscar( sex unknown), Male convict Cichlid, Male Festive cichlid, Female Green Severum, Chocolate Cichlid (I think its a male but not quite sure) and a young red oscar on the left of it. I picked 3 of those festive Cichlids up for $1 each at the petshop I thought it was a mistake. Are they not very popular or somthing? :bounce: -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Staruth!! How much?? That was miles too much to pay!!! NOT They were definately wrongly priced. What shop was it?? I want to visit that one. I might pick up some bargains. How big were they when you got them? I would have got six of them, it almost makes your percentage of getting a pair 100%. But at that price I would have got the whole tank full. How are you sexing your Festivum male? Have you got a pair from the three you got??

Herc Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hey Alan, I actually questioned the price because I was unsure. The worker said " yep thats the price" so I took them all, there were only 3. A few weeks later I asked another guy there and he said they just didnt sell :-? They were about 5-6cm and I got them from Jansens Silverdale in the cichlid tank up high where they keep the Green sevrums. When I bought them they were a dull tan with a diagonal stripe and after about a month or so 2 of them had paired up and started developing some nice coloration. The male is significantly larger than the female. The pair seem to be very well bonded and always swim side by side. Unfortunatly I havent had anyluck breeding them.
