exCichlasoma Istlanum F1 "Rio Balsas"

[Davidefc]

Hi, I wanted to share some of my favourite fish I am currently keeping, I bought a pair of Istlanum from a friend who got them from Germany. They are a Central American Cichlid, grows quite big and is quite aggressive.

They are stunning fish, great personality, stunning colours and rare!

Here they are, the male is a real glass banger!



The female:


And heres a video of them with some young:

They are awesome David. They must look even better in the flesh.

Great looking fish.
Central American Cichlids are so under-rated
