Dimidiochromis Compressiceps sexing???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It looks like a dimi comp, but that will become more apparent as it matures. Oh and congrats, it's a boy! :WHOA:

A general rule in venting a small hole small hole oo = male, some species the vent hole is slightly triangulated like your comp. Small hole bigger hole oO = female with the vent being donut shaped which becomes more pronounced after the fish starts spawning :thumbsup:

It’s looks to be in the aulonocara (peacock) family. Possible a juvenile male blue regal peacock

Thank you, I wanna ask you about my CA and SA cichlids too, but it's already a night time in my timezone, so maybe tomorrow! I'll need to drain 70-80% of water out to be able to catch them though.

Funny story I wanna share. I have an mbuna tank consists of 12 Melanochromis auratus, with the alpha male, black body at 4.5 inches, 6-8 Kenyi 12 Demasoni, 6 Red Zebra and 6 Yellow lap. I'm surprised they're still all there. That male auratus definitely is my tank boss though. I had once put a larger jag and a larger dovii in there, and it wasn't scared of them at all, even fought back with an upper hand.
