    A viejita

    2 of the 4 images on The Cichlid Room Companion don't look like viejita to me? Rolo's images are Same with images on fishbase Would be nice to have an image that clears up all the misidentification of this species The Datz image is the best.....IMO

    A viejita

    There are very few images of the real viejita And the best are owned by commercial interests who would need to give approval for their use

    A viejita

    Seems to me there are many hobbyists who can't tell the difference between macmasteri and viejita Is it possible to get special permission to post an image of a real A viejita on the cover page of this forum as a reference....99% of goggle images are incorrect identifications

    Are Blue rams as bad as their reputation

    A lot of soft water fish are deemed "hard to keep"….. Most of the issues stem from NOT keeping them in soft water…and with rams it should also be warm They will breed in hard water….but eggs are likely to be infertile because egg casing harden before they are fertilised so parents eat the eggs...

    Could this be P. sacrimontis?

    Happy to provide an opinion Not taeniatus Not sacrimontis Normal kribensis (pulcher)....and not great examples in my opinion(but I like males to have spots in tail) Sacrimontis have yellow green fins...very dark stripes....

    Can pH swing kill fish?

    This IS what happens.....particularly with soft water fish Joe blow measures pH....he then believes its too high So he adds Fred Bloggs's pH down.....he measures it again...it's ok He measures tomorrow...high again....so he adds more pH down And the sarga continues all the time he is increasing...

    Setting up my first tank, need some guidance.

    I think the swearing is unnecessary .....;) Old school perhaps....??? Do you have any plants in the tank? If not add a bacterial supplement to cycle your tank....or fish will die of ammonia poisoning

    Setting up my first tank, need some guidance.

    Mike....perhaps you should appreciate that kids read these forums.....??? Pseudocrenilabris are also a hard water species.....not compatible with other species from a water chemistry point of view....a. nijsseni. is an aggressive apisto as well I believe pH change doesn't kill fish.....it's...

    NLS Cichlid Pellets - Worth it or an expensive way to dirty your tank?

    I feed all my fish exclusively NLS pellets for small fish.....and I'm very Happy with results I don't like flakes because I believe most of the nutrients leach from the flake very quickly....so it needs to be eaten almost instantly I find the NLS provides all a balanced...
