Hi,
I have been given six Cichlids, which I have no idea what they are, how to care for them or how to tell if they are male or female. Please can anyone help me?
Looked at different websites but still cant identify them as there is so many fish which they could be.
Thank-you in advanced Raeunknown cichlid.JPG

Bolivian Ram
(Microgeophagus altispinosa) But not 100% sure.......
 
they look like some type of geophagus, not sure which though.
 
Geophagus Braziliensis. grows to a foot and 6 of them need 120 gallons.
 
definitely a geo..
and I am leaning to what liv2padl suggests..and you will need a big tank..they are very nice geo's to have tho.
 
really? i totally was gonna say firemouth.
mine looks almost like those
 
I can see how some people can mistake small geos with bolivian rams they kind of have that same sloped face but it is for sure a geophagus brasiliensis. google it and search images.

Click to expand...

that's is probably why they call rams Mikrogeophagus..but the finnage on the Bolivian is colored different..
