Help me ID these 2 Cichlids

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ones definitely albino Oscar and the other i would have to say tilapia you bought yourself some monster fishies.:naughty: I wish there were street fish vendors in NJ that would be fun.
 
i tried to put them both in the larger tank together with my 2 blood parrots, it was about 24 hour now and i dont see an attack from each other. i think the can live together in the larger tank, just like alotadollars did.
 
they are still very young, im sure they will be fine for a couple months but once that butti matures i highly doubt that it will still be ok with the O, i mean there is always the rare chance you got a tolerant individual but most likely it wont work. you can never tell how fish are going to get along as adults by their attitudes as babies, they will change dramatically once mature

what size is that tank by the way?
 
Aaah ok, i didn't know that since im just new in this hobby. By the way its just 35gal only not big enough but nothing to worry, since you told me their behavior when they got matured, i been planning to buy more 35gal for both of them, im just waiting for the pay day :). Thanks so much for the great info.
 
ok yeah i mean they are still little so its ok just make sure to do lots of water changes to keep them from stunting and get them into a larger tank within the next month or so, also the oscar is going to need at least a 75g to itself, and the butti will probably need a larger tank than that but im not sure because i dont really know much about buttikoferi, also those parrots are going to need a 55g i think (never kept them but hear they get fairly large, especially your king kong parrot)

yup i will surely transfer them to their required tank before they got onto their adult stage, thanks for the advise. i think parrot is not much required larger tank because their full size is just about 7 to 8, so not much big, as per by my research they required just about 40g each and anther 10g if you add one.
 
yeah i meant a 55g for both of them together, but yeah GOOD LUCK with them, you definitely have some future monsters on your hands :)
 
^ agree with all who said Buttikoferi tilapia....
