  • Hello TH-cam....meet Hypselecara temporalis, aka the chocolate cichlid! This fish is amazing because it expresses its feelings with its color...changing color to show different attitudes! For more Pic's and info of this chocolate girl and other amazing fish check out the amazing fish blog:

    Our chocolate boy is uncharacteristically sweet. Like he's a big wimp and cuddles with other fish. He also stalks the front of the tank to check out what we're doing at any given time.

    I recently got a young chocolate cichlid (about 4.5 inches) and I'm fascinated with her ability to change colors. They change rapidly too.

    Very cool looking and unique fish! I don't think I've ever seen one before. Not even in your tank! Lol. With all the beautiful monsters in there I must have overlooked her.

    I was always under the impression that chocolates were mainly peaceful like severums.

    • @dwsdarius
      @dwsdarius  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I guess it all depends on the fishes personality...I probably just ended up with one that was more aggressive than the average

    I had three Oscars back in the day when I was a teen and I love them. Back then all you put in the filters was charcoal and poly-fill. That's over 40 years ago. Keep up the good work.

    hello i have one ot these on order and was wondering if they would be ok in my tank with tinfoil barbs or if they will be ok in my angelfish and severum tank which one of my tanks would you say would be more suited thank you

    • @dwsdarius
      @dwsdarius  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They are more similar to severum and they should be able to live with them and the angel fish fine.

    Gorgeous Oscar and he wants you to know it!😆
    Do you think a chocolate Cichlid would be too aggressive to keep with a severum and a Geo Brisiliensis? I also have two Oscars and a BGK, it's a 300g and plan to get a bichir, but I imagine these buys would either be hidden or can hold their own.

    • @dwsdarius
      @dwsdarius  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks, if you have an Oscar then these should definitely fit well, my Oscar was much more aggressive than my chocolate cichlid.

    • @marcconley7037
      @marcconley7037 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have Chocolates in a tank with an assortment of Africans, severums, even smaller tetras and they do well. Mine are not aggressive, even the mated pair was not terribly aggressive before i gave them their own tank. They are only around 7 inches long so they may get more aggressive as they age but not now.

I've had mine for 11-12yrs. It's been so long I'm not sure on the exact amount of years. Have a happy Thanksgiving!

      going nuts trying to decide on what I want to put in there! I had
      forgotten about the chocolate until I saw your video. I've always liked
      the way they look but felt I'd want one in a big tank. I'm wrestling
      between SA and Tang.

    • @dwsdarius
      @dwsdarius  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, color comes with dominance ( fish confidence). If you have other fish in the tank and your chocolate is dominate over them then color will come soon, if the chocolate cichlid is alone or with fish more dominate than itself it could take much longer

      I've had two 3" in a community Central and South American cichlid tank for about a year, they change color, don't bother anybody and get along with other mellow cichlids. There was a group at my local Petco and two had paired up and they separated the rest and the staff picked a pair from that group and so far so good, about 72°, they eat everything and are unique
