I never tried to put tankmates with my Fahaka. Maybe if I had a 240g with lots of decor , rocks , and hiding spaces... then I would try with african cichlids. But something tells me they won't be tolerated as my fahaka reacts to anything that moves in the tank. I've read that some were able to keep ...

6" From head to tail ? He actually looks bigger than 6" ,but its hard to tell from pics alone. I thought my Fahaka was about 6" because he looked smaller until he layed on the substrate near the glass one time & I was able to get an accurate measuring of mine. He was actually 10&q...

I had my Fahaka in a 72 gallon Bowfront for about 6 months I think. He is in a 150 gallon now. I need to take some pics as I've been away from this site for a while. But yeah he outgrew that tank pretty fast but I had the 150 sitting waiting for him so it was a smooth transition. 72 is way too small...

So I recently found this play that sells crayfish for $3.99 / pound. So that is about 15 or so medium size crayfish. That is such a great deal considering I used to pay $1 each. Only thing is that I have to setup a tank for them.. Anyway, how often should I feed my puffer crayfish? He is on a diet o...

Very nice pictures. Could tell you have a high quality camera too..

Isn't your Jardini highly aggressive? I had one and could not keep any tankmates with him. I had Oscars the same size with them and they took a beating so I had to give those guys away.

I would say a MBU. Probably ideal to be get one that is similar in size of your Cats. Your Shovelnose & RedTail will eat anything that fits in their mouths & I am not quite sure how you have clown loaches with them as I would have thought they would have made a meal out of them by now. I hav...

It looks like he has a GSP, MBu, Nile, Figure 8 and I am not sure about the one on the right.

This person has a MBU, Fahaka, and a GSP all in a 40 gallon tank.. Unreal. People really need to research before buying...

Speaking of Hybrids, FLowerhorns come to mind. I remember when the fad came in & everyone was selling these "cichlids" with huge heads & bright colors for hundreds even thousands at times. It amazes me how some pay more money for the more deformed. Some of my friends have them &...

"buy craploads of hormoned African Cichlids from Asia"

What fish are you referring to? Flowerhorns? If so, I don't think they're Africans cichlids, but rather a mix of South American Cichlid species..

I went to a LFS recently & saw this Giant Spotted puffer misadvertised as a Figure 8 .. I guess the only good thing about it was the fact they the acknowledged that it was Brackish..

I keep clicking back to this thread.. I don't know if it's just me, but MBUs look so friendly & Niles look like the devil... maybe its the eyes ???
