Rol&Jas Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Maybe we could organise a Central American diving trip in Moewell. Observing these cichlids in their semi-natural environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue acara Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I wish they have threw in some Frontosa instead of Red Devils and Convicts. Then it would be worthwhile for a dive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E4G13M4N Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Yes it would be nice to fish for these fish at a location near by Its releases like these that will come back and bite the hobbiest on the bum, when more fish are added to the noxious list..

Rumpig Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 How're the colours of those red devs!!! You'd never find something like that in the shops, do they fade once you get them in a tank? Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hey Rumpig I put them in my pond and they are still the same colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndon Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hi Guys, Quote "...the pond is hugh and 10km by 15km pretty big." Hazlewood is no where NEAR this size. More like 1km x 1km. Its still large mind you.... The Devils are the same as most in Aust, a labiatis/citrinellus cross just nicer than many tank bred ones. The convicts are REALLY nice looking. Most of the cichlids pulled out are small to medium size. Lyndon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
