what african cichlids do you prefer and which should i get?

**Fishyfanatic** · 04-03-2005, 08:20 PM

Oh I love them all. BUT, I only keep Lake Malawi Cichlids. The Mbuna's have great colors and cute bodies, then again, so do the Peacock's and Hap's. My favorites are the Mbuna's though. Favorite Cichlid, Acei's.

thank you i think i might try the peacock because of the patterns and also the look and unique style it might bring to my tank.

you said you like a cichlid called a mbuna!! could you give me more info on that- i have never heard of it?

Mbuna is the Cichlid Group. Try the Pseudotrophus "family". I'm not exactly sure what you would call that. Try this website.

I'm sure that someone else could help me out here on what it is technically called.

HAHA. It's ok. When the guy at the [acronym:08c7652c49="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:08c7652c49] told me that a fish that I was looking at was a mbuna I said, nuh uh. That's not what the name tag says. It says it's a Electric Yellow. Talk about embarrassing.
