HI all

Im after an excellent specimen for a display tank. Adult or medium size is fine

flower horn, oscar, green terror, any type of large robust fish that will thrive being by itself or a partner.


Let us know , send me a picture and Im keen to purchase :!:

I was going to suggest a Umbie or a Male Dovi but a 4x2x2 is really too small once they start getting above 18 inches long.

If your looking for a big display Cichlid there is a small Aquarium shop near springvale railway station that has a lot of nice big male fish for sale.

gday guys!

yep ill post a picture tomorw for you when i get time.

day 1 they are eating, courting and busy moving everything in the tank.

There colours tend to fade but when excited about his girly they develop a strong blue tinge.

boy these things are strong,,, no wonder why they are called tank busters.. I have no chance in moving these guys now lol

funny you should say that Ben.

both have been cleaning the pot out all afternoon. They are now eating me out of home.

Best thing is they are so tame I almost have them hand feeding.

These blue freckled monsters are true gems of fish ..

more pics in due course :)

that mean a 6X2X2. :? I'm very tempted, about 80:20 in favour , hopefully better sense will prevail and I'll have one less tank to scrub. :D . I'm up to 11 tanks atm and its going from a hobby, to almost a second job :?
