im talking about the blue one, you cant even see the albino one... i will get more pics of the albino in a minute or two...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's a Kenyi Cichlid (Pseudotropheus lombardoi).

[ChilDawg]

I think that it would be a Kenyi as well. However, with Africans in the "Assorted Africans" bin, you could end up with a lot of hybrids.

I can confirm that that is definetly a Kenyii African Cichlid. I have one in my tank and it looks exactly the same.

Just looked in my book that my lil bro just stole from me and it say its a Pseudotropheus lombardoi just like posted above. It looked exactly like it.

are they more aggressive when they get older?? right now i dont have any probs with him.... ill post a pic of my albino one and you guys can tell me what you think that one is also, ok?

[ChilDawg]

Yeah, Kenyis are killing machines.

[GEV83]

how do i post the pics on here??? do i just copy and paste the link or what??

[ChilDawg]

Your Cons might hold their own, but your Oscar would be toast at the hands (fins?) of a Kenyi.

[K_S_W_I_S_S]

so what should i do with them then?? should i just set up another tank for them or what??? do you know what the other african is? andf do you know if they are males or females?

[GEV83]

When you want to post pics go to the pic right click go to properties then copy the link thats on there. Then got to post reply and where it says IMG click it paste the link in the space they give you click ok. Then just submit reply and it should be there.

I bought the same fish from the asst. african tank at wal-mart and through the research i've done i think they are kenyii.I also found out that they are very aggressive.:rolleyes:

Now they are in a 30 gal. with some danios.

Wish i would have found this site before i purchased them.:(

You should really keep the africans in their own separate tank, away from the cons and oscar because africans require totally different water parameters then cons and oscars. Its up to you tho, do what you like.

yes,the blue one are a lombardoi female,But...the albino one..I dont think that are the same...It is moore "zebra like" I guess it is a "röd zebra" M.estherae.
