  1. Behrens et al. investigate the evolution of sex chromosomes in the ancestors of the lacustrine radiations of East African cichlids, showing slower sex chromosome turnover than in the rapidly diversifying haplochromines.

  7. Kłodawska et al. examine visual opsin genes sequences and expression in Bermin crater lake cichlids, recovering little coding sequence divergence but high variation in expression profile, suggesting plasticity at the onset of sensory evolution.

  8. The #rainbow #cichlids are growing on me for sure! Very active and busy.

    I much prefer south american cichlids and the large variety they offer. I really don't understand why African cichlids are as popular as they are here. They offer good colors sure but nearly all come in the same physical shape and none of the personalities I've seen with SAs, well, except kribs. The #kribs are nice.

  13. can't get any good footage of the #saulosi #cichlids. same #aquarium as the 'firefish', but the male is bullying the female (if it is a female, time will tell - since young males are also yellow before turning blue).

  14. Final species arrived (Fire Fish)! With that, all new inhabitants has now been housed in their respective #aquarium!

    Here is the list of the new species:

    - Aulonocara sp. 'Fire Fish'
    - Chindongo saulosi
    - Pelvicachromis pulcher
    - Herotilapia multispinosa
    - Andinoacara pulcher
    - Pterophyllum scalare
    - Cleithracara maronii

    Excited to see how this works out! Afaik the only #cichlids in my setup that might be a headache to breed are the fire fish

    oh, the video almost ended up as a perfect loop 🤣

  15. I did something I didn't think I'd ever do... I handed in some ~200 #guppies (most of my lines) and some ~2kg of #aquarium #moss to my LFS in exchange for #cichlids.

    My plan going ahead is to focus first and foremost on larger species, keep just 6 large tanks with minimal maintenance instead of 28 small breeders that need daily work.

    I'm also determined to switch my aquarium #plants focus to "minimal-work" #bucephalandra with possibly a small selection of other #rareplants.

  19. Carruthers, @mgenner.bsky.social et al.integrate retinal transcriptomics, phenotypic analyses, and visual modeling to uncover rapid sensory divergence associated with an ecological transition between habitats with different light conditions.

  20. Last week I donated the pond fish (#medaka, #whiteclouds, and #notropis), today I donated the last batch of the tropical microfish (#sundadanio, #tetras) project. All that's left at home now are #guppies, #angelfish, #ancistrus, keyhole #cichlids, #corydoras and the old #kuhli loaches.

    i'm not getting more corys or loaches; but they aren't disturbing any fish or eating fry so they get to stay.

    will consolidate to just guppies, ancistrus, and #shrimp (neos) going forward. and my rare #plants :)

  23. Camacho García et al. investigated visual system evolution in cichlids form deepwater environments, combining genomics and transcriptomics to link variation in eye size to adaptive changes in green-sensitive opsins and phototransduction genes.

  24. Bertinetti & Torres-Dowdall investigate the rate of phenotypic plasticity in visual sensitivity across Nicaraguan cichlid populations, finding that plasticity rates vary by lineage, age, and environmental conditions.

  25. Mayan Cichlid (Mayaheros urophthalmus) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 27 Dec 2024. The Mayan Cichlid is native to the Americas and probably introduced here via the aquarium trade.

  34. Almost 90 days since my last post, and the Geophagus has grown quite a bit in that time!

    Lots of new plants in the tank as well, I need to make a special aquatic plant post soon.

  39. I was contacted by one of our graduates who is now working in an aquarium and asked me about cichlids because they "remembered from the first year that I love them". My take home from this is that I don't go on about cichlids enough in the second and third year of our degrees...
