I got one of these guys Yesterday night, and i really like the shape and deffenetly happy to own one after looking for one for some time.

I did some research online and i could not find much..... i saw some different pictures of the same fish with different names on different sites so i wanted to be sure what mine was????? also some other basic info on them??..like...size?, Food??, ect.........

the one that i got looks EXACTLY like this [SIZE=-1]Mormyrus[/SIZE].....





thanks

Nice fish mate, they tend to do better on sand where they can sift for foood like a geophagus.

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

Also no rowdy tankmates.

the tank he is in has sand......... also he seems to be a bit agressive twords some of my other fish....... but i had to move my senegalus because he was being a bit agressive.......

any other info on this guy????? i know they are more active at night.....but what will he eat??? and any other info would be good

thanks

Bloodworm is a good food for them.

Is that a dolphin?

 

[Rare_Cichlids]

well its called a dolphin fish..... but not a real one....

now that i look at mine i can see a difference from the picture...... mine is alot longer and mine is thinner and the face structure is not the same..... anyone have any idea what it EXACTLY is???


thanks

Try searching under Domodomo (Mormyrus Kannume). I dont know if they still use that name though. I think this was the one that got kinda big, like 15-20" or so. Comes from the Nile Basin and Lake Victoria. Goodluck!

Yep good luck.
