Nice, tx for the great photos Ste!

I like the first photo, the circles on the tail of one of the fish, are very interesting. Also that’s an interesting tank setup with the dead leaves and all.

Gorgeous cichlids, all of them (plus a nice gourami)! I wish I could find the variety of kribs around my area that your collection boasts.

I’ve heard a lot of accounts (second hand and first) about the difficulty of managing discus social dynamics. Have yours taken much effort in that regard? Looks like the ones pictured are all thriving.

The Kribs are certainly not easy to find, in fact finding them and hunting for them is half the pleasure, There are 9 described species in the Pelvicachromis Genus, i have set myself the target of spawning them all :shock: So far i have bred the Common krib (Pelvicachromis Pulcher) and the Slender or yellow krib (Pelvicachromis Taeniatus).
I am in contact with someone on another forum who has a tank of juvinile Pelvicachromis suboccelatus Matadi (do a search on google for pics, the females are stunning), we have arranged to swap some fish so that will be another on my list next year :wink:
As regards to the discus, i read about them and understood them for years before buying, i started with angel fish as they are very similar fish to discus and a whole lot cheaper. I got two years experience with the angels before buying my discus..
The main point with discus is buy in bulk, dont think ill buy 3 and see how it go’s…It wont work, you end up with one dominant one subdominant and one that gets beaten up every time it pops its head out. I bought six which is the minimum amount to start with, You always get one dominant fish at the head of the group and it go’s down the pecking order until you get to the weakest, mine never grew much in 12 months of owning them, but with six fish this fish has a bit of a rest as others also get chased by the dominant. I sold the remainding four when two paired off as this cut down all aggression in the tank and the pair have the tank as their own personal territory. It is a very complex subject but easily understood if you study the fishes natural habitat.

Beautiful fish!
I wish I still had discus.

Ste,
your A. agassizi is incredible! Most of them that I see around here are white and black — none of the bright yellow yours has. Is the bright yellow typical?
