[Cichlidsanders]

Ha! Yesterday morning I came home from work to a show
Here I am two maybe three months into keeping Malawi Cichlids and what do I do? I wake up to a "holding" yellow lab.

I think its funny too but I think he is Shaking his thing at her.
I only had two males in that tank at the time a Electric Yellow (that I thought was female) and this Albino Red Top Zebra.

The Albino Red Top Zebra was the dominant male in the tank so I do think he is the BIG DADDY!


I put the albino into the 40g with my Kenyi to get him to stop pestering her, (he has taken over my Kenyi tank!)
but then the male Electric yellow started in on her so I moved her to a grow out tank till she spits then when she is strong again I will but her back with the others in the 55g
