[dornblaser1]

I need to figure out what this guy is, he is by far my favorite fish when he feeds or shows dominance he/she colors up wicked cool black baring only brighter than pictured. i think its a he based of coloring but idk. Please help me out with any info.

I have 3 red zebra, 4 yellow labs, 1 female acei, and this guy so far

Compatible???

placidochromis milomo or a lobochilotes labiatus

he/she looks more like placidochromis milomo but he has thinner barring maybe because he is juvie still, thanks for the help! if anyone else has input its greatly appreciated

 

[dornblaser1]

could he be a Placidochromis sp. "Jalo"

 

[Cichlid-dude]

Maybe a juvi zebra obliquidens?

ok i found this cichlid and it looks exactly like it and fits description Haplochromis sp. "#44" thickskin

juvi zebra obliquidens got me to this answer because i found a forum with an article saying a lot of stores/breeders/suppliers will give the name zebra obliquiden to any victorian with a lot of color but a common victorian but very colorful is Haplochromis sp. "#44" thickskin

anyone agree

Yup, but could be the 2 first i stated. You might have to wait till it grows to see its distinctive features!

i bought limpets reef buffet (the guy said this would be good for africans) supposed to feed about a quarter sized chunck of that plus my normal food which is omega one super color cichlid pellets (sinking), hikari cichlid gold (floating), and hikari algae wafers (sinking)
