very nice Ant..I love the blue and red rainbows. Think we are gonna need to make a trade, some Ilangi for the blue rainbows when mine start breeding

first of all the come from different lakes that have different water parameters. Secondly the mbuna are a lot more aggressive than the fronts.

all good quality yellow labs should have a black dorsal fin

Tannins aren't harmful. Try doing a water change first If you want crystal clear water add some chemi pure ( a very good carbon that lasts 6 months) and some seachem purigen into your filter. You can also use polishing pads or aquarium safe quilt batting or floss to trap the finer particles in...

do you have them in egg tumblers?

which is a carnivore also known as malawi trout, even furthering my point about different dietary needs between the fish.

what kind of food are you feeding? I would feed them some veggie flakes it might be easier for them to get to

if its a female holding sometimes you can see the fry in her mouth. It will also look like she is chewing gum. It could also be bloat

I'm misinformed? LOL ok where do I start..you said they all get along just fine, there is more to it than that. The fronts have different water parameters, needing much higher ph than the malawi mbuna or peacocks. Fronts need more protein in their diet than mbuna. Mbuna need rockwork in that...

demasoni can be kept with other mbuna. You need to have a large group of them so they spread out aggression. 12 or more are recommended. They mix quite well with yellow labs, and the color contrast looks really nice

wrong. Different species have different needs. Mbuna will need different water parameters than Tropheus from lake Tanganyika. Peacocks and Haps will have different dietary needs than mbuna or tropheus. Mbuna need lots of rocks peacocks do not. There are lots of reasons why certain fish should...

the first thing to always do is a water change and see if that helps, don't just assume things are fine because your water parameters look good. Was this tank fully cycled? how long has this tank been up and running? Change any of the filters? I told you 3 days ago in your other thread about...

i think I want you to make me some lol...looks great. Spray paint is safe inside a fish tank?

go get some metro, it could be bloat.

any spots on the fish? torn fins? fish look bloated? what foods are you feeding? try feeding them and see if they eat
