Show Us The Different Species of African Rift Lake Cichlids..

[Something Fishy Here]

Our maybe just a trick of the light in the picture making the fins look yellow on that big one in the middle

Perhaps, they look pretty close. I think the ones in the tank have yellow trails and fin tips that i don't see in pics online of maison reef cichlids but I'm very unfamiliar with them, could be...

I’m good enough at ID to make a mistake lol the colors look like Jalo reefs, but the bars and shape look more maison to me, so…

 

[Cal Amari]

Could be some of both int there.

Nice! Are those maison reefs?

Maybe M. fainzilberi but not Maison Reef. The specimen in the picture show yellow and a black horizontal line in the dorsal fin which does not occur in M. fainzilberi from Maison Reef. The face mask also looks a bit off.

I really like this version I saw online "Hongi Reef" while trying to research these guys. Clearly not what's in the display but thought I'd share.

That’s awesome, looks almost like a Jalo/mbamba mix

Can any of these versions go in with peacocks and haps or are they a bad idea to mix?

I wouldn’t, but a Jalo reef or mbamba are similar and should be ok, but not both

You think a mbamba or Jalo would be on with the haps and peacocks as long as it was solo?
