Hello AC. I havent been here in a while, and I figured I'd post some pictures of my favorite fish.
I've had this female belly crawler pike cichlid since she was about two and a half, three inches, and she's more than doubled that size now. I used to have her in a thirty gallon with other fish, but she had a problem with killing her tankmates and shredding plants, so she's got a twenty long to herself now (and the thirty gallon doesnt have fish in it anymore). I always love watching her navigate her tank and peep out of her PVC hide... her movements are very serpentine and she peers out of the PVC like a moray eel. She's also a piggish feeder. I give her frozen food, live earthworms, and crickets.
Sorry for the lack of in-tank shots, her tank is very dimly lit. These are water change shots.: the bucket she's in is about nine or ten inches in diameter.
