best pic Lake Malawi

[dogger]

I'm just starting a 90g tank just for Lake Malawi cichlids. My question to you is what would be your best selection for a nice show tank?

[bl00]

I'm really enjoying my mix of less aggressive mbuna (yellow labs, rusties, greshakei, etc), and a few peacocks. It gives me a great range of colors and personalities in the tank.

I want an all male show tank mixed with all the best specimins I can find lol I am looking at having some nice iceblue haps and many aulonacara tpes I want a big variety and possibly some more peacful type mbunas so you can get the picture, but i'm gonna but them young and watch them blossom~

Hey greenearth what species is that bright red one there? I've never seen one like that before. I want one!

[greenearthlawns]

those are superb quality ruby reds, you mean the pic w 2 of them right?

[Sirspifalot]

Yea those are the ones I mean. Are they Aulonocara Rubenscens?

[greenearthlawns]

thats what they came up on google images under... They are probably line bred to bring out the red... or mabye they are hybrids almost look a little like red jacob 2. very nice I thought.. I have one that is really red and one w a bit of yellow they are not fully colored yet but can't wait till they are~

[Sirspifalot]

Excelent. Thank you. I have been looking for a bright red one for some time because all my Africans are blue. I used to have one of the rubesscens but he died unfortunately. Now that I see he would have been mega red I'm even more upset. O well I'll just have to get another one. A living one this time.
