I don't remember. But I am always looking for like minded cichlid enthusiasts to share the hobby. For what it's worth...I'm one half Swede. Can I stay?

Just browsing old links and these pics are just crazy fantastic!

Half swede?! You need to explore that a bit Swedish ansestors?

I've been using these fish as dithers for my cichlids.

I just pulled my Giant Gourami's out of the pond. There are a total of five regular and one albino. When I got them they were cute little guys at 1":



Here they are at 4""



I have four of them in a 300 gallon tank. The largest is 20"...the smallest 16". They are very shy right now since they've been in the pond for two years. Not used to people staring back in at them. More to come when they settle down. You can see a "piece" of all four in this photo.



...and some more. Here's the largest of the five.



The back end of a bunch of G's





The albino Giant G. at 14"





A long shot...you can see how I am lighting the photo for the shots.

One half of a Pearsi pair:

Male Zonatum:

[Aquamojo]

These fish are wild...collected two years ago in Honduras.
I have several...but two of these fish in a divided 125 gallon tank. I thought they were both the same sex. Apparently I have a pair and they are starting to breed. I know which is which...do you? All kidding aside I'm still shaking my head.

And if you saw this picture first...would you have said Managuense? Amazing amount of blue accentuated byt the fact that the flash is right above the fish.
