Azedenkae Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 So I got a Festae a while back, and was gonna care for it and raise it and all that. Then saw a SGT today, which was super active and all that. And SGTs were my favourite fish before...Needless to say, after staring at it for about 5 minutes, I decided to stop lying to myself and go for what I truly want. I was gonna try something new, but for me nothing beats a SGT.So there we have it. XD I bought it, and it's gonna be my baby now.Anyone have the same feelings towards particular species of fish?

Azedenkae Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Posing for the camera.The gang's all here.(Blurry) side shot!It already took over as the boss of the tank. :3 Scared not of me either, I could come right up to it.The fact that it comes out into the open also draws the other cichlids out. Woohoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I was at the lfs the other week no intention of buying any fish.I spotted a small pair of Firemouths and 5 min later they were on their way home with me.Diddn't really have a tank for them so they ended up in my 4ft albino B'nose tank.The next day they culled all the fry and I could not be happier.Just a soft spot for an old favorite.

Firemouth Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I was at the lfs the other week no intention of buying any fish.I spotted a small pair of Firemouths and 5 min later they were on their way home with me.Diddn't really have a tank for them so they ended up in my 4ft albino B'nose tank.The next day they culled all the fry and I could not be happier.Just a soft spot for an old favorite.Gotta love the Firemouths mac.I've had all manner of Sth American cichlids but keep going back to the Firemouths.Also found myself staring at another old favorite in an aquarium a few months ago.A nice young Jack Dempsey.Didn't really have the room for one so didn't commit.However I went back several times over the next few weeks and he was still there and getting better looking each time.Could see he was nicely shaped and that he would colour up beautifully.Anyway could no longer resist and took him home.Got rid of a school of congo tetras and dropped him in with the firemouths, a silver shark, and large Bristlenose.The JD owns the joint now but everyone's getting along fine.
