The Parrot Cichlid. Perhaps a mix between Amphilophus citrinellum
(the Midas Cichlid) and Cichlasoma synspilum (the Redhead
Cichlid), this hybrid was produced first in the mid-1980's in Taiwan.
Other possible "donor" species include: Heros severus (the
Severum) and one of the Red Devils (Amphilophus labiatum). To
eight inches in length. Beauty is indeed, in the eye of the beholder.
This one on show at the 6/01 Aquarama Show in Singapore. |

| Pelvicachromis pulcher (Boulenger 1901), the
Rainbow Krib (from the old name, Kribensis, still sold in the pet-fish
trade as). Originally from West Africa; southern Nigeria and Cameroon. A
perennial favorite in the hobby, with many generations bred in
captivity. Females larger (to four inches), better looking than males.
Freshwater to brackish; pH 5-8, dH 5-19, temperature 24-25C. in the
wild. |
