Real plants would make the Rams very happy. Very sensitive fish...but really cool!

***baller-status***

Leave em in there. Theyll hide till theyre big enough to swim freely. Or get eaten by others. Youll know sooner or later.

Redtop Lwanda would be my first guess. He definitely has a way to go. Nice fish.

Quite aggressive, best in pairs in LARGE tanks with loyal waterchanges. Grow fast....need lots of room. Can in some cases be kept as juveniles with others, but will grow rapidly with exceptional tank size / parameters. Cool fish.

Also, dont be fooled by the eggspots, imo yours is female. Females will have three or less eggspots "predominantly"....whereas males will have 3+

My Red Zebra female looks exactly the same. The male reds that turn yellow/orange/reddish, tend to have LESS color than their counterpart females...and at 4"+ will tend to be a duller orange to yellow as they grow older. Great mbunas, have a bad rap for being aggressive, but mine are nice...

I enjoy it too. Such a huge payoff after a waterchange.

Im a fan of Malawi lake salt. Since using, my fish seem peaceful and happy. Never had sickness in my tank...and my male-tank pops with color and growth. A stable diet and dilligent water-changes help of course. NEVER just dose an up and running tank, it needs to be introduced via water changes...

The only downfall to white substrate is all of the "duty" (poo) shows real well. Pet peeve of mine...IMO if course.

Its a bit of trial and error with those species. The Dempsey and Oscar need lots of tank.

Throw them in when no fish in the other tank cant eat them. 1" atleast

Few of my favs in my tank Eureka Jake Makobe Island Ruby Red

SunSun cannisters are a real bang for your buck. You can get one for a 55g from anywhere $80-100 delivered. Cannisters are where its at IMO. Easy to maintain, less maintenance.....and they MOVE water.

Possibly Flavus if the lower lip area is blue-ish
