Afft. Cichlids? *Pics Added* Help ID - Aquarium Advice

PK Tester · 12-26-2004, 12:45 AM

Hey all...

I was recently in the mall

and saw these really small and VERY BRIGHT

Cichlids

Does anyone know what these might be?

I don't have a picture and they were so pretty I'm considering getting them for my 40 [acronym:46b81208ee="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:46b81208ee].

All their label said was Afft. Cichlids.

I'm not sure about the Afft. part, but Rams seem to meet your description. How much were they selling for?

PK Tester · 12-26-2004, 01:02 AM

They werent rams...too bright of colors...some were solid and some were striped.

They were pretty cheap $3.99 ?

I recall there being a VERY bright orange fish in this tank.

Possibly somthing along these lines :

Somewhat smaller though

They also seemed a lot brighter

Would it be this one? http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...fm?pCatId=1837 I also have a really bright orange cichlid that seems to be a crossbreed. Many times now you may come across Cichlid's that are.

PK Tester · 12-26-2004, 01:22 AM

Fishy it was somewhat like that but very small...and I do not remember its body being so narrow

PK Tester · 12-26-2004, 01:27 AM

Ahh I want some but I don't really know the requirements and I do not want those to be the only fish in my aquarium.

I don't think I would buy them if I couldn't identify them either...

Sound like African Cichlids to me.
Could be labs, but they would be too cheap. Probably a Zebra, if I had to guess.

If it is an african cichlid check out http://www.cichlidrecipe.com/cichlidrecipe/cover.htm
and see if it is there

Cheers

If it is a Cichlid, you can only put other cichlid's with it. You may feel restricted by not being able to put too many other species in the tank but cichlid's are really fun fish to have. Their personalities are amazing.
