GSP Size and Growth

Well, coupla questions 'bout GSP size. For years I've seen that GSPs reach 6". Kept quite a few over the years and have never had one reach more than 3.5" or so, even after 5 or more years. Most seem to stop growin' at 'bout 3". Honestly couldn't tell ya the longest I've ever had one,...

Re: What do you know about Discus?

Well, kinda biased. African cichlids have dominated my tanks for well over 20 years. Only started branching out beyond a coupla tanks of other fish when the fish room was finished a coupla years ago. Still, 'bout 3/4 of my tanks either have African cichlids or are waiting to be stocked with African ...

Re: Coupla Pics of my A. modestus

I'd guesstimate he's 'bout 3.5". I've tried before to get pics and he wouldn't sit still long enough. But the last few weeks he's taken to that spot under the driftwood when he's not roamin', and he's stayed still long enough to get some. The zebra loaches like to play in and around that piece ...

Re: Coupla Pics of my A. modestus

Thanks for the comments! Had him almost two years now and I enjoy him. I almost didn't get him. The first time I saw 'em at the shop (Cheyenne doesn't have an LFS, the closest shop is 50 miles away in Fort Collins, CO), I had to seriously resist gettin' one as an impulse purchase. My 12 year old dau...

Coupla Pics of my A. modestus

Been in Wyoming most my life, can't imagine livin' anywhere else. :) [welcome] Fish waste away when they have internal parasites, no matter what or how much they ...

Hello from Wonderful Windy Wyoming

Hello, folks. Been keepin' fish for 29 years. I'm mainly into cichlids, especially those from the Rift Valley, but always have a few tanks with a selection of other fish about as well. I always seem to have a green spotted puffer or two in a brackish tank. Over the past year I've acquired a coupla o...
