[mshill90]

I just got myself a hawk cichlid.. At least that's what I know of them as.

Can't find anything online about them.

Colors of a hawk (brown, white, black) with a beak like face.

Anyone else have any?

I've never know the Malawi Hawk to be brown. Possibly a gold sheen? I have two growing out right now. Both are right at 4" or so.

The Malawi hawk can be brown.. depends on it's stage. But it's more like a dirty silver IMO.

I love my little guy. Can't wait to get more!

My big guy was killed.
