thank u 4 da info. i have more female then male cichlids.. people gave me wrong info.. u was very usefull ,thanks..i have a bunch of cichlids and now at least i can name them..
Very Informative, I have been in the hobby for quite some time and mostly have kept Central and South American Cichlids, I have never kept Africans before and have become interested.
What are a few good colorful Africans that could be kept together for a first timer.
Also is it okay to mix different types of africans? For example are Victorian only supposed to be with victorian and malawi with malawi etc. I assume these are some good beginner questions coming from a beginner
Yah if you just starting out Mbuna are probably the easiest to keep. They can only be kept with eachother. You can mix dif. Africans but you have to be carful with what you are mixing. Ex. Peacocks (Alunocara) are from Lake Malawi but many people keep them with Frontosas wich are from Lake Tang.
Again sorry fot not updating but I am still pretty busy =[
This fish is also threatened these days. Apparently very rare in the lake. What a pity as the colour of the male is quite something, especially when he gets a little aggro.
Absolutely. The pic of a female did not do the species justice. I have an adult male, a juvie male and 2 juvie females. They came from two different stores. I'm gonna breed them....Or at least try...
