Pics And Info On My Cichlids. Picture Heavy

[GEV83]

Ok you could thank Viciousfish for this thread. Apparently he want to see my loisellei's and seeing how I got a thread on my new Oscar and a thread on my breeding pair of Jack Dempseys I figured to make this thread for the Oscar, JD's and Loisellei's. I will also include pics of my pleco's here.

Ok My tanks are....

53gal - 2 Aquaclear 110's
Parachromis loisellei pair - From Jeff Rapps
3 Silver Dollars - Use to be 5
3 Giant Danios - Use to be 8
1 L-001 Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus
1 Jack Dempsey - Female

20gal - Planted - 1 Aquaclear 70
3 L-144's - From Pinkertd
1 Baby Oscar

20gal - 1 Aquaclear 70
3 Brigg Snails
5 Giant Ram Snails
2 Jack Dempsey Breeding Pair

5gal - Quarantine - Internal Whisper 10-20
Betta
6.5" Hypostomus - Unsure what kind

Ok I know tanks are overstocked thankfully there over filtered as well. I just got my new double stand in. Ill be getting my 75gal soon which will go to my Jack Dempsey's. Next month hope to have enough for a 110gal for my loisellei's. When that happens the Oscar will go in my 53gal. After I save some more another 75gal will be purchased for the Oscar. The extra Jack Dempsey will need a new home soon.

Great pics.:thumbsup:That is still the neatest looking oscar I have ever seen! All of your fish look very heathly. Those L001's are some awesome looking plec's too. Once in a while the petsmart near me gets some of those in mixed with their gibby's. Good job.

Great shots!

Thanks for the kind words. The L-001 I bought obviously when it was small. I had like 7 of them. That was around the time that my Grandpa got sick and my time and care went to my job and grandpa. My fish got neglected. In the end I ended up with only 2 L-001 the tank water was brown. 1 of the 2 died and now I got my only L-001. Feel bad for the rest I lost but nothing I could do bout that now.

Great looking fish!

 

[GEV83]

Thanks RBishop. My fish have came from good sources. Well except the betta and oscar oh and the unknown Hypostomus pleco. Oscar and betta were from the walmart I work at. They both just caught my eye.

Nice looking fish.

 

[Vicious_Fish]

Thanks for the update GER. The loisellei's are looking really good. Gotta love when they get to that age where they start to color up. Best of luck getting them to breed.

Your Oscar is BEAutiful

Your other fish are pretty nice too!

 

[GEV83]

Yeah they are nice at this age. The female loisellei colors up alot at times. The male looks alot like a managuense but different like lighter coloraltion. I like the loisellei's more not hyper aggressive like my Jag was and not gonna get so big.

Thanks Lauren for the kind words bout my Oscar. Hope he or she keeps those colors as it gets bigger.

Update on 53gal. I now have 7 Giant Danios purchased some from my local Petsmart. They have always had good stock and clean tanks so purchased 4 of them to go with the 3 I already have.
