The Madagascar Rainbowfish (Bedotia geayi) is a representative of the Bedotiidae family that allows you to experience the remarkable fauna of Madagascar right in your home aquarium. This species was discovered in Madagascar and described by Pellegrin in 1907. The fish first reached Europe in 1958.
The Black Ghost Knifefish (Apteronotus albifrons) is one of the most unusual representatives of aquarium fauna, attracting attention with its unique body shape and graceful movements. This fish is also known as the black knife or black ghost knife. In my experience, keeping this species requires specific knowledge and preparation, but the result is worth it—watching these elegant creatures is a true pleasure.
Kribensis, scientifically known as Pelvicachromis pulcher, are perfect for aquarists who want to experience the fascinating world of cichlids without maintaining a massive tank. A pair of these fish thrives in a 50-liter aquarium, though I recommend 70-80 liters for optimal comfort. By cichlid standards, these are remarkably modest requirements. Kribensis belong to the dwarf cichlid category, and their small size, vibrant coloration, easy sex differentiation, and relatively peaceful temperament make them a welcome addition to most community aquariums.
Redhead Cichlid (Vieja synspila) is a large and striking aquarium fish that captivates with its unusual coloration and fascinating behavior. Keeping this beauty requires a spacious tank, but the vibrant appearance and remarkable personality more than compensate for the need for ample space. True cichlid enthusiasts inevitably seek to get better acquainted with this species.
Common names: Cichlasoma hybr. “Red Parrot”, Red Parrot, Blood Parrot Cichlid, Parrot Cichlid.
Nicaraguan cichlasoma appeared behind the glass of our artificial lakes relatively recently. Since its appearance, this aquarium fish has been invariably popular among cichlid lovers due to its original appearance and coloration. Over time, its popularity is only increasing.
Cichlasoma labiatum is another very large representative of American cichlids, which is difficult to recommend for keeping behind the glass of the room aquarium. But for populating large containers of offices and lobbies of enterprises, it is quite suitable. Its appearance and size will contribute to the image of your organization.
Flamingo cichlasoma are amazing aquarium fish in many ways. Their size will allow you to use relatively small containers for their maintenance. Their coloring attracts attention. And the desire to solve the mystery of their origin can make you do genetics.
Eliot’s cichlasoma is a very beautiful fish very similar in coloration to the Meeki cichlasoma. Seeing it for the first time it is easy to confuse with C. Meeki. Meeki. However, it is a different species, differing as a larger area of purple coloration on the abdomen, and a higher required temperature for maintenance, as well as some features of species behavior. Which fish is more beautiful? I do not know! For taste and color, as you know, there are no comrades. I like both species.
