I think its a Male m.callainos. just not the cobalt morph. Cichlid Profiles

Cichlids are great but lots of work if you want to be successful at it. Getting a few books before you get them will ensure that it stays enjoyable for ya. Good luck.

Thanks Sam

How many egg spots does that first fish have? And about how long is it?

And yeah I would've first thought of her being ready to spawn but the tank she was in had bloat.

I don't know if the picture is grainy or not but its a picture of my kaskazini holding. She was in a hospital tank for a week. I was going to leave her in longer because of a huge bump on her underside. Thought it was next to the anal fin but ended up being a huge spawn after I put her back in a 55.

It's a 55 gallon with maingano, blue zebras, and I'm contemplating the bumblebee. 9 fish all together. Here's my set up so far.http://tinypic.com/r/2yvsd9c/6

Maybe you're right. When I feed them I use flakes just because it's easier to control how much each fish eats. When i use the pellets my alpha eats more than half of them. Then he pollutes my tank with long stringy waste just an hour later. But to get back on subject, omega one and hikari are...

Yeah I'm only worried about the bumble killing the much smaller maingano.
