ok today a guy came in to trade fish with me he said on the phone that it was a red fin convict which ive never heard of and all my search efforts proved futile so i set up a trade

he came in we did the trade and i gave him 3 electric yellow , a peace color lab or two and a couple of macaw fry and a jewel for the ones he brought me

so when i go to put them in the tank i notice that one of them is carrying an spit fry

they stressed right now but it looks like they will look good
 
well, they are not red fin convict. Look like African cichlid species.
 
Yeah, some sort of african. 2nd to last looks peacock as well.
 
thanks as i look closer at the seven of them in there the one that was holding only spit 3 and she has more in her mouth hope she dont swallow them ill keep an update of how they look as they grow

and ill post some pics of some of my other fish that ive gotten that i have no idea what they are i know how to keep them healthy just dont know what they are lolol
 
Looks like Haplochromis sp.44 red tail.
 
and is that a good trade for some electric yellow , and a couple of other common fish around here im gonna google it to see what adult look like thanks

wow i just google and got this site
