I have loved CA cichlids since I was a kid. I remember when festae was first imported into the states and was featured on the cover of TFH magazine as a new cichlid from Ecuador. That would have been 1976, maybe? Great setup and I really enjoyed the video.

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Its getting increasingly difficult to get good central American cichlids now days. I used to get most of mine from Rob Johnson at lincs fish. He had regular shipments from cichlids of the americas tampa florida. But unfortunately he's now out of the hobby. Wharf aquatics mostly have a reasonably selection.

Hi Andy, what is the plastic grid stuff you can use as a divider? I've got a male Jack Dempsey that's been a bit of a pain and I'd like to separate him off temporarily to allow me a bit of time to set up a new tank for him and his lady. Thanks for a great channel.

Hi Andy, love the videos! I have a quick question, in regards to growth rates, out of the Umbee and Black nastys, which will grow the fastest? I currently have some Black nastys but have grown around 4cm in 6months

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

It's so difficult to say as there's so many factors involved. Tank size, water quality, temperature, diet, and imo the biggest factor stress levels. Keep a aggressive cichlid alone with no competition they grow much faster in my experience.

[@xXTheSoulJaXx]

What's up Andy a little off topic of the video but you're the only one I know with good experience of the parachromis red dovi , just bought one it's about 5 and 1/2 in and it's pure white do you think I have a female or is it going to peel and turn orange at that big?🤔

[@andywoodscichlids2942]

Very difficult to say. Most of mine went from normal coloured at fry stage. Then white at 2 to 3 inch, then gradually turning yellow orange as they grew. They can change month by month as they mature. You will definitely now if you have a male. Look for freckling in the unpaired fins. Just like normal Dovii, and most parachromis species. Good luck with your Dovii, and happy fishkeeping to you sir

Hey andy do you have any idea on how to ease aggression between green terrors. I have a mating pair of green terrors but the female constantly attacks the male and has brought him close to dying several times. I keep them split in a 55 gallon long tank most of the time, but whenever I unsperate them she just starts attacking him. The male is a lot bigger than her but is still attacked

Hi Andrew I have a question to ask you and maybe somebody here can help me do you know anybody that breeds umbee cichlids here in the United States where I can get a male from I've got ahold of tangled up and cichlids and they never got back to me about a male umbee cichlid. None of my local fish stores carry any big and aggressive cichlids anymore and they won't even try to preorder them in.
