my first memory of cichlids was me and "banger" (tony from clearwater in corrimal) catching a bus to LIN TOY PET CENTRE
on top of the hill in Woonona.... we swapped a blue tongue that we caught for a tangerine zebra.
i was 9 and bang was 10.
He even let me carry it to his house in the bag!!
i was so jealous cos he had a 3 ft tank that his mum let him have on the floor in his loungeroom.
no stand no light no nothing! he also bought a black shark that he had for about 30 years!!! he may even still have it.
i turned 50 this year...ive been "tangled up in cichlids" ever since.....those were the days!

could this be the start of a geo revival????????
if you can get onto some argrystictus, do so
Recipe for argry success
*get yourself about 6.
*put them in a tank (min 4ft) with a fairly high flow rate
*use a spray bar fixed at one end of tank.
as these fish are found at the foot of small waterfalls in streams
*mix the substrate with river sand and fine gravel (around 3mm)
*Add rocks and timber (to create eddy's)
*always feed by dropping food in front of spray bar flow.
*add blood worms.(at least once a week)
*Heat to around 26C.
Watch intently for about 3months.(best done at night from darkened room)
tank light only.
