Anyone breed cichlids ?

in cichlids •  7 years ago 

I will post more on this but
My favorite are Mbuna
Malawi geniuses

I also like tanganyiki

And my favorite synodontis mulitipunctatus

Not to forget Geophagus ;)

Ever wonder how some of these get their names ?
Tell me if I'm wrong but the discoverer gets a say in the name of the fish species

Male it will end in i or ii pronounced "eye"
livingstoni (Dr Livingston)
Female will end in ae pronounced "ee"
Trewavasae (Ethelwynn Trawavas)

I took some pics let's see if you know what I got ;) IMG_8808.JPG
