[Fishmanic]

April 2022 Fish of the Month Contest​

We had 8 awesome Cichlids entered in this month's FOTM contest but only one could win...

And the winner is.......


SomethingsFishy24
Let's all congratulate them

Here's their winning entry and its description

​

Heros sp. Rotkeil
Age: 10 months old
Tank mates: Gold and Green Severum, Parrot fish, Firemouth juvies, Albino and Lemon BN, Electric Blue Acara and a shoal of Cherry barbs.
Tank Size: 150 gallon
Name: Scout

Unique Traits: Gets the "zoomies" at feeding time. Will inspect my cleaning capabilities and will "supervise" to make sure I vacuum enough. Very social, will be front and center for anyone who comes up to the tank.

Feeding: Gets a broad variety. Loves blanched Spinach, zuccini, brine shrimp, blood worms, Rapashi, cichlid pellets, bug bites and steals vege chips from BN.

I have a special place in my heart for Sevs, they are so big and lovely, rather calm and gentle for a Cichlid even with their own species. I love my fish fillets.

Thank you everyone! It truly means a lot! There were a lot of beautiful and unique entries, didn't think my "baby fish" would be much compared to some of those mature fish in full color. Thank you all again, this made my day!
