Yodapwnsasmurf Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks to a nice man named Ian, back in the 'good' state, I now have a beautiful pair of Cuban Cichlids. The male is roughly 25cm while the female is only half his size. They spawned for the previous owner a few days ago so I expect a spawn in maybe 2 weeks. Anyway, I'll leave with some pics, didn't see on the phone but the glass was still wet. Thanks, Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yodapwnsasmurf Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Nice catch mate. Don't get why Ian would sell them. He bought them as Jags, didn't have the tank space for them (didn't have the tank space for Jags either) but they were killing his fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
