Amphilophus trimaculatum (Trimac)

[oscarsftw]

Is there any store or any vendor selling Trimacs in the Houston area?

Thanks. I've tried Xtreme fish and pets and City Pets. And tried calling Fish Ranch but no response I think they are closed....

Thanks Fish Ranch! I got 2 for a really good price....

Would you mind posting a picture of the parents? I'm really happy with them, I just hope they make it through the Oscars....

Thanks! Cause they look really good as juveniles.


My Oscars are chasing them, is it ok for me to get a 10G from wal-mart and throw in my Powerhead 350 or maybe just get a air pump and create bubbles for water agitation and use that as a temporary tank until they get a little bigger? If so how long do you think they can stay in there until they can be put back with the other Cichlids?

They are about 2 inches right now, I want to get a temp house for them until they get at least maybe 4-5inches.

Re: Amphilophus trimaculatum (Trimac)

It would be ok...but you need to do real regular water changes to keep their growth going. Or maybe just add some hiding places until everyone settles dow.

I do 2 75% weekly and consistently. Real anal about water quality lol  

I think I'm going to go to wal-mart tonight and get that tank...Maybe 10 or 15G, don't want my Trimacs to get eaten I really like them.

Wow he is stunning, very vibrant colors.  8O

Thank you!

The juveniles seem to have settled in and started eating and swimming around, the Oscars have lost interest in them...Although the juvies still hide in the plants.

The Omega One Cichlid Flakes should help them grow fast!
