Yeah I had 3 of them in a different tank at first they were too small to move in with my others then. The 3 were siblings but as usual with cichlids one killed the rest then he got big enough to hang in the big tank with a few others.

Yours is a convict fish (South American Cichlid) the OP is an African version, they are famous for attacking fish 3 times their size and getting eaten whole for their trouble and they breed more than most any other fish

Yeah, I had one of those guys for a while. He was about the size of the average fish in the tank (all african cichlids) but he quickly overthrew the boss and killed a few of the other challengers. After that his rule was fairly peaceful but he would kill from time to time. What a bully! Great fish though.

thats not a convict you nigger... get your cichlids straight...

op has a pseudotropheus demasoni from lake malawi in africa...

little fish guy that says "i have the same fish you do" has a cynotalapia africa also found in lake malawai, africa...

the image to your left is an actual south american convict cichlid...

there are 100's of species of african cichlids... i used to breed 8 different species and had about a total of 50 different species...

south american cichlids suck ass... especially oscars like this gook so happily insulted the thread with...>>369967

i also find it funny how everyone soon followed up with inferior saltwater species of fish... cichlids aren't saltwater... they are hard mineral rich brackish water... lake tanganyika has one of the highest ph water levels in the world... its so high that plants can't even grow... somewhere around 11ppm... malawi and victoria are a close second at around 9ppm...

if you have a cichlid tank if you use ph boost you will see a significant gain in achieving vibrant colors in your fish that give them that "salt water" look... malawi and victoria cichlids don't really like 11ppm ph like tang fish do, but tang lake fish can do just fine in the lower ph levels of malawi and victoria...

Cichlids appear worldwide as aggressive and protective fish except in North America. There Centrarchidae (sunfish) rule because they're even meaner.

ok seriously, proud of you to make a point, but just cuz you majored in marine biology or whatever doesn't mean you have to be a dick

not the poster you referred to but I kept 3000 fish as a hobby. My background is majors in English & History but when you get into fish you speak Latin because that's their names. Almost all the literature is heavy on biology and often chemistry.
Serious fish husbandry is nerdy as f**k.
