    Exclamation Gone - Breeding pair of Convict cichlids & about 200 fry

    New pics
    Giving away.
    These two are awesome. Very healthy eating, breeding, chasing machines!!
    I've never seen such beautiful colours on a female when breeding.
    Ready now, as the fry are doing so well...

    I really don't know how many fry - could be 99 could be a zillion

    I need room for incoming Rams

    The pair needs to go ASAP or this weekend or they go to a LFS

    Too bad they are so under appreciated in our hobby. I think they are cool fish with great personality. Too bad I have LOTS of them already or I would have snapped these guys up

    good luck with your giveaway

    Thanks Victor!

    Indeed, they are just great fish to keep, always been one of my favorites with their character and oodles of entertainment!

    Almost too bad they breed so fast
