Hi guys
Please identify this cichlid one for me.
(Sorry I fudged this pic from some post here - my sincere ap0logies to him/her)
I have had this cichlid for sometime in my tank - and it's doing pretty well - but I am not too sure about it's name
They are an african cichlid from lake malawi to be exact. Do you have the blue ones or the yellow ones or both? Males are blue with black stripes and females are yellow/orange. There ARE other cichlids that look similar to them however. Are they an exact match?
i have both of those types suby. they are awesome. or atleast i was told they are that type. they look exactly like those! but cichlids truly are an awesome fish!
It's the blue one that I've got LuvMyKribs And yes, he's an exact match.
With a pair of them, I have a pair of M.Auratus as well (though these guys are not as fast moving as the blue ones )
fishman89, you are right Cichlids should be best - considering the fact that they are colorful, they are active, they are curious, they are fast, and most importantly they are hardy, and never fussy about anything.
