Artist's Comments

I think my dad took this shot

The blueish fish is a Laetacara Curviceps,
the one in the front with a horizontal stripe is a Pelvicachromis Pulcher
and the yellow-beige-orange ones with black spots in the back are keyhole cichlids :)

Wow quite a collection of cichlids you have there!
Do you not find territorialism a problem?
How big is your tank?

Not really :) It's a 250l, and they're all quite young and small, but it might become a problem when they get bigger.
Though, that's just an excuse to get another tank :D

Ah I see.
Hay but if you have the space for another tank, why not set it up right now. Better safe than sorry ;P

Ah I know what you mean. My tanks are limited to how many I can fit in my room for now.

I don't have any in my room :( But I'd like one :D

To get Guppies was (in my opinion) the _far worst_ decition _ever_.
we plan to move the first edition of tiny-gups (The females were pregnant when we baught them - we cam ehome with 6 fishes, the next day we had 16...) to the big tank=P I bet the cichlids will second your opinion; hm, tasty x)

Hm a free tank and some tasty snacks for your cichlids. Sounds like a good plan to me :)
Guppies are bright and shiny and thus they appeal to the young and or uneducated. :P
(No offence intended to any guppy lovers. I am generalising a lot here)

And I totally second your opinion on guppys >_> all they do is eat, poop and give birth
