red haps with my stock?

[Sir]

alright, well i've been looking at my stock and considering what people have said, and well i think that my africans are so beautiful that if i got an american cichlid it would ruin the beauty of the africans. :grinyes: so i went onto this cichlid website and the people there recomended a red hap. . . ? i've never seen one before though and have no idea where to get one! hap is the same thing as ahli right? cuz i kept an electric blue ahli be4 and it was so beautiful and i absolutely loved it! (but them it kinda died. . . sorta. . . ) so i think i'm going to get a red hap if i can find one and its the same thing as an ahli. any objections/opinions/comments?

A ahli is a Malawi Haplochromines (hap) There are several types of haps including Ahli's. Most haps get larger than Mbuna. Not sure what they meant by red hap here are a couple I can think of called red hap

Most likely they were referring to the Red empress which would probably work out better and max out at7-8inches. You wanted a bigger fish and they are pretty.
