Hi

 

I'm well and truly back into fish keeping again. Picked up 10x Cichla monoculus, quick video of them smashing pellets off the surface.

Not sure how to embed photobucket videos.

Good to see your back Alex, and even better to see some one whos keeping some big fish..........

[Peckoltia]

Yeah mate its in the blood, was toying with the idea of keeping African cichlids, but the lure of tankbusters was too strong. Will have these bass up to 30cm within 6months I reckon - without any issues.

 

 

Nice full bellies. These guys are eating machines - chopped whitebait and hikari food sticks at the moment. Need to convert them to marine gold pellets next. These fish will never see a live feeder in their lives - not intentionally anyway.

Awesome mate, welcome back.

[Peckoltia]

Good to be back, an 18 month lay off really gets the hunger again.

Very cool fish! Anyone knows where to get some young ones? I'm actually chasing a small group

[Peckoltia]

[Peckoltia]

Thanks bud

Getting hikari carnivore sticks and whitebait

[ice]

Coming along very well!

[Jules]

You using bait or human grade?

[Peckoltia]

I buy it from the fish market in mirrabooka so it's meant to be human grade, but I personally wouldn't eat it.

I've used both bait and human grade and never noticed any difference.

Updates, come on.

Picked up another one, thinking one more Ray and that's it, may wait till our new house is built to upgrade and add more big boys!! Can only dream to get a silver aro.
Newest guy on the right, lucky boy with my 3 girls!! Haha....
