Great site!!!!!!!! x100.
I'm 14 and a fish lover.
I first started out with
pink and black cichlids.
My mom bought a nice tank
for our living room and
then I bought 2 tanks for
my room ... One tank is
25 gallon and has 1 Pacu,
2 Oscars, 3 Black Cichlids,
and 1 Silver Needle Nose
Gar. My 40 gall. has 1 10
inch. Oscar.
My moms tank has about 40
fry cichlids. I was very
happy when I saw the little
fry. I didn't know that
the 2 cichlids would breed
until my mom showed me the
fry. Its a great experience!
But anyways GREAT WEBSITE,
BEST WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU NEED TO WIDEN YOUR CHOICES
OF CHICLIDS. JUST AFTICANS
AND ANGELS AREN'T MUCH.
I THINK MY NEXT TANK WILL
BE A SOUTH AMERICAN COMMUNITY
TANK AND I AM LOOKING FOR
DWARF CHICLIDS LIKE RAMS,
KRIBS AND APISTOGRAMMAS.
i'M SURPRIZED THAT YOU DONT
CARRY THEM.
THANKS

Hello Scott. We have consciously decided not to
carry the fish you mentioned. Rams and Apistogrammas
are small Cichlids from streams in the Amazon. They
don't ship very well for us, have a short lifespan
of 2 to 3 years, and prefer soft acid water, which
differs from the water that most aquarists in the
U.S. have in their aquariums. Kribs are small Cichlids
from streams in West Africa, and they also need
soft acid water.
Fish like these from
streams with soft acid water are much more difficult
to keep in aquariums than fish from the lakes in
East Africa, that have hard alkaline water.
We find that most
customers prefer the small Cichlids from Lake Tanganyika
in East Africa, Click
here to see them. They live for many years and
prefer hard alkaline water like most aquarist have
in their aquariums. These African Cichlids are much
better suited to life in an aquarium, and most aquarists
enjoy them more than the fish you mentioned.

I hope this has gotten to
the right department, but
I simply would like
to know how reliable your
pictures are in giving the
buyer a good impression
of certain species.
Particularly, I would really
like to know if the
picture you display of a
green terror is accurate.
It seems to me that in all
my years of cichlid keeping,
I have never seen or heard
of green terrors with the
incredible green coloration
your site shows.
Thanks for helping me with
this question.

Hello Ryan. You ask a good question. We have had
a number of problems with the pictures. At the time
that I write this, there are over 500 pictures on
this web site. Some are really bad and out of focus.
But they are the best we have, so we post them.
On the other hand
some are much better, and we post them too. The
picture you mention of the Green Terror is very
colorful. This fish was living in an aquarium with
a black bottom, which always intensifies the coloration
of any fish.
The coloration also depends
on the amount of light and type of flash used to
take the picture. Click on the next
line to see many other pictures of Green Terrors
from other websites.
These fish have about the
same sort of coloration as seen in our picture.
Now click on the next two lines.
http://images.google.com/images?q=green+terror+cichlid ... h=596
Notice the great variety of these fish,
although apparently they are all pictures of Green
Terrors.
We certainly do not ever try
to exaggerate the coloration of our fish to our
potential customers, but it is really beyond our
capability to take pictures that always depict the
fish just the way you might see them in our facility.
We usually take several pictures
of the same fish, and then choose the best picture,
not the worst picture.

About our Fish Photographs ...
|
|
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
