Who here keeps New World cichlids?


I've got a few.


99% of my fishroom is dedicated to new world cichlids.

85% is currently dedicated to Amphilophus species.
Currently includeing (but not limited to)
Amphilophus chancho
Amphilophus amarillo
  [size=100]The above were the first of their species to enter the U.S. so they're a highlight in my fishroom and even though they lack color, a personal favorite.[/size]
Amphilophus citrinellus - Midas Cichlids - currently barred varyiants and yellow
Amphilophus ESU "citrinellus, costa rican red face" the river variant.
Amphilophus  labiatus    - Red Devils - orange,yellow and the less common barred
Amphilophus sagittae
Amphilophus xiloaensis
and some others

in the mix of New Worlds in my fishroom are also
Herichthys pantostictus
Vieja  synspilus - red headed cichlids - wild breeder pair,
 
and some small guys
Cryptoheros cutteri  -    - wild breeder pair,collected by a guy I know on his trip to Honduras
Cryptoheros sp. "rio Monga" - rio monga "convicts" - wild pair part of a group  also collected in Honduras.

Herichthys Carpintis "Escondido"
Uaru amphiacanthoides

Nive Variety 

[quote]Honduran Red Point (This has it's own new genus & species now, but I can't recall it at the moment).[/quote]

The genus is now Amatitlania (but thats the genus now for all the "convict types" now )

the species (for now anyways) name, siquia has been given to red points (and a few other varients)

A single Red Devil named Barnes. Orange (almost yellow) with white splotches, and those RED DEVIL LIPS! This feller has [i]a lot[/i] of personality. He's about 5 inches.

Thanks!  Been racking my brain all day trying to remember where I saw that.  Very crafty, Mark!  Now you'll be "forced" to get that bigger tank!   :toothy9:

Nice pics!  Cutteri is a good-looking fish! - The others are too, but I'm less familiar with the Cutteri -

Afternoon Gents

Bored at work, so i thought i'd join in.

Currently i have a pair of Severums, one green, one gold.

I know my green is a male "Heros efasciatus "Cameta" "... (found the only decent site dedicated to severum sub species lol). he was wild caught in the rio negro i believe.

His mate is a female run of the mill golden, which, in retrospect is a real shame to lose the strain like that, but i dont have the heart to separate them now.

Ill take some photos later tonight and put them in the gallery.

Their just waiting now to be moved into their new home, a truely monsterous 48" x 24" x 24" tank. happy days all round.
