Here I am two maybe three months into keeping Malawi Cichlids and what do I do? I wake up to a "holding" yellow lab. :woot:

I think its funny too but I think he is Shaking his thing at her.
I only had two males in that tank at the time a Electric Yellow (that I thought was female) and this Albino Red Top Zebra.

The Albino Red Top Zebra was the dominant male in the tank so I do think he is the BIG DADDY!


I put the albino into the 40g with my Kenyi to get him to stop pestering her, (he has taken over my Kenyi tank!)
but then the male Electric yellow started in on her so I moved her to a grow out tank till she spits then when she is strong again I will but her back with the others in the 55g

Thank you I already enjoy them :popcorn:

I have not gotten a close look.

The first picture of them is as close as I have seen them, but I think they may be too young to tell for sure.

I don't think any of them are albino they all seem to have normal eyes. (http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w79/Kevinsand/SNC12512.jpg)

Mommy is back in the community tank!

She has fattened up a little since yesterday and seemed to be very ravenous so I put her back in with the rest.

She fit right in with out much altercation, but she is much smaller than she was when all this started.
