[The Morning]

Just playing around and thought this might be a nice chance to document/track my fish.

Nice,I've always liked the albino compressiceps.

 

[tlindsey]

Very nice selection of Peacock and Predator Haps.

Lastly is this guy. Oldest fish in the tank. Almost 7 years. He is also the biggest fish.

 

[The Masked Shadow]

What about a full tank shot?

 

[The Morning]

Sure.

Thanks for sharing. I recognize most of the fish, but when you post individual picture it might be helpful to give us names in case we want to research more about them.

 

[The Morning]

1. Phenochilus Tanzania- Star Sapphire
2. OB Peacock from Snake River Cichlids
3. Dimidiochromis compressiceps- Malawi Eye Biter
4. Cheilochromis Euchilus- Thick Lip
5. Nimbochromis venustus- Giraffe Cichlid
6. OB Peacock from Snake River
7. Aristochromis Christi- Malawi Hawk
8. Otopharynx Lithobates- Yellow Blaze
9. Albino Dimidiochromis Compressiceps
10. Cyrtocara moorii- Blue Dolphin this one was actually found at a Petco. I am hoping that it was labeled correctly as I have never seen Haps at Petco previously.
11. Protomelas taeniolatus- Tangerine Tiger
12. Labidochromis caeruleus (not pure) & Neolamprologus leleupi
13. Protomelas insignis

Your star sapphire has colored well given his tank mates!

 

[The Morning]

Still young. Actually getting more and more color over the past few months.
For now aggression is ok in this tank. The Tiger and the one OB peacock square off occasionally and the dimi chases the thick lip other than that pretty docile. I have moved about 12 fish when there were problems.
the OB mbuna is boss but he claims a territory in the rocks and only chases when others come close.
