    Pike cichlid ID help

    After doing a deep dive into the whole group I’m thinking potentially a Saxatilla species

    Pike cichlid ID help

    To be honest I’ve never seen juvenile C.geayi so they could easily be the right species Always best to ask those who know more when in doubt!

    Pike cichlid ID help

    See I thought Wallacia due for to body shape and the spot on the caudal area But more than happy to be told different

    Pike cichlid ID help

    The shop I work in have had a delivery of pike cichlids, listed as C.geayi but I don’t believe they are My guess is a notopthalmus sp of some sort, any guesses?

    The trio have been doing incredible in the main display, still can’t believe I have them

    Ivanacara Bimaculata in the UK

    I was more concerned on them being targeted but luckily nothing And I do believe I have two males and a female judging by their behaviours so that works out well Obviously I can always take one into work if there is conflict

    Ivanacara Bimaculata in the UK

    Fantastic, they quickly outgrew the temp holding tank so I moved them into my main tank expecting a bit of conflict but so far, nothing they’re left alone and they leave the other cichlids alone

    Aequidens identification

    It’s horrendous, a lot reclassified as andinoacara A whole lot of sp and sp af It’s a minefield

    Aequidens identification

    It’s wrong catchment area for tetramerus, so wouldn’t expect that to be the case The orange flashing isn’t as vibrant as it looks in the photo, but is definitely visible I have seen confirmed diadema with the orange however, but let’s be honest, the entire genus is an absolute mess when it comes...

    Aequidens identification

    I know, but worth trying metae is ruled out, as the lateral spot in continuous and the eye lacks the black diagonal lining The lack of red throat and darker scales would probably rule out tetramerus I’m leaning more between superomaculatum or diadema

    Aequidens identification

    A few months back I picked up an Aequidens sp from a wild import labelled as metae There were a distinct mix of species, and I grabbed what I believed was A.diadema, however as times gone on I’m no longer sure, appreciate any help you could give

    It’s finally happening

    I rotate a mix of foods weekly, also culturing black worm, daphnia and grindal worms at home, variety is the spice of life after all!

    It’s finally happening

    Been 24 hours in my care, taken blackworm yesterday no problem, and have been eating hikari vibrates tonight I know they are a lot more common now than they used to be, but this is nearly 5 years of waiting and searching for this fish and to now own them is still amazing to me

    It’s finally happening

    I’m actually weighing up a SEA trip in the coming years, a colleague is very into his gastromyzons and hill streams But yeah the world is definitely not the safest anymore, it’s a shame too!
