Few days ago when I ordered my first of 3 speice I got Jalo Reef. I liked the bay blue & their yellow fins. When I first got them I though their colors would changed from that dark blue to that baby blue as they adapted to the new aquarium & the yellow will show more.
The baby blue wasn’t coming through & something was off. I did more research & found that I don’t have a Cynotilapia Afra ""Jalo Reef"" but a Cynotilapia afra "Hai Reef."" Still stunning and & love them. There seems to be two males showing strong colors, but one is definitely the alpha male. He has claim two spots and has started to dig a hole on the next spot. Didn’t even know about them but another reason to start a tank and have some Jalo Reef.
I’ve fed cucumber & the Hai Reef does eat, but the Yellow labs like it more. Now, the Hai Reef love sweet peas, as the Yellow lab will eat some but pass on most. Also in the mixes of A.Cichlids are Pseudotropheus Saulosi
I contacted the website where i bought them so hopefully the right name will be replaced so others dont get he wrong cichlid.
