Hi All,
This is Beta Mahatvaraj
Im from a city called Chennai in India. Quite far away.........
I have been keeping fish for the last 14 years (im 22 now) and have been concentrating on cichlids for the past 8 years.
I've been keeping Discus for the past 5 years currently have 14 of them (3 red snakeskins, 2 green snakeskins, 2 red spotted snake skins, 2 pigeon bloods, 2 marlboro reds and three red turks).
Due to import restrictions we dont get a lot of exotic varieties. So the breeds are quite common ones. The water in the city is also of not very good quality.
Other than Discus I keep a lot of other cichlids. I have around 200 African cichlids and some from north and central americas (synspilum, managuense, temporale, rivulatus....). The weather is quite hot here this year water temps went upto 34c!!!!! so no heaters!!!
I have 7 of a rare cichlid called etroplus canarensis which im trying to breed. I also have some non cichlid species like badis badis and denisonii native to India and also a pearl arrowana.
Currently i have 11 tanks.
I'll post pics of my discus sometime soon and also of other endemic species in India.
