Need help picking a cichlid....

[foshizzle11]

We have african cichlids in our tank and we are looking for a red one. Not sure what is available but we have blue, yellow, green, purple, orange but haven't found a cool red one.

I know sounds funny but thought I would ask for some help. Pics would help too!

What kind of Africans do you have in your tank? Peacocks, Mbunas, haps?

Thanks guys, we have peacocks in this tank. We aren't experts so I don't know exactly what cichlids we have but one is the orange/blue one in the pic above. He isn't really red though, would be cool to find a really red peacock.

Any other options you can think of?

Is it possible to put peacocks and mbunas together?

I have a 75g with mbuna, afra, and peacocks and they're happy, I had your same problem so now I have 2 ruby reds and I couldn't be happier!

Dragons blood peacocks can be really red but usually pinkish.
