what is this?

[nzo]

I mislaid my shopping list of new tank additions this week.. doh

I bought 3 of these (which I knew at the time were compatible tank mates)

Purple body, yellow fins.
Very active algae scraping
very peaceful
swim as a group frequently.

So sorry for such a stupid question, but I`ve not been able to look them up, even though I made enquiries before I bought them, I`ve lost my notes

I would say it was most like the bottom one:

They are very docile - perhaps the most so in the tank. I also like that they are the most active algae scrapers - not to mention great to look at, and not even coloured up (no apparent gender for either 3 yet)

They are also the only fish in there to not have territory, display / fight and they have a tendancy to swim together. Very good tank mates it seems!

That is really good to hear that you have very nice fishies....hopefully we will be able to see some pictures sometime......I would like to see your cichlids....:dance2:
