Got another one for ya. Anybody know what kind of african ciclid this is?
It is my experiment fish. My PH is 7.2-7.4 and this fish is one of the biggest eaters in the tank.(look at his stomach)

man that things fat beware of malawi bloat


Whats that? I know it is fat as sh*t. Everytime I feed my fish this thing is more of a hog than most oscars I have seen. I fed the fish 10 minutes or less before this pic so it doesn't always look so fat.
 
looks kind of like this guy

Cynotilapia afra sp. "yellow top"

hope this helps

what he means by malawi bloat is basically that hes being fed a high protein diet. what are you feeding him. spirulina works well with mbunas, african attack cichlid pellets are what i use too. you only want to occasionally feed them something high in protein.
