I think you can actually watch the whole thing on YouTube! I dis one night at work. Lol

Okay. So the Flameback is actually <i>Haplochromis sp. 'flameback </i>; so if a knowledgeable person is referring to them as haps, then they prolly know what they're talking about. Lol But I'm guessing your LFS just knew they were haps and didn't know they were flamebacks Yours def are...

"Cichlids of Lake Malawi" by AD Konnings And "Cichlids of Africa, volume 1: Haplochromides"

Tank shots; a whole nother "issue" of setting up a tank. Lol

Absolutely get the white!!! And if your lighting is good, they'll be stunning! Lol My list: 75 gallon ------------- Haplochromis sp. "Flameback" Electric Blue Hap (Scinaechromis fryeri) Electric Yellow Lab (L. caeruleus) Astatotalipia latifiscia (don't know it's common name. Lol) Rusty...

Electric Yellow Labs (Labridochromis caeruleus) Yellow-tailed Acei (pseudotropheus sp. Acei) Kenyi (maylandia lombarido)- aggressive. Try to avoid to start Honestly, you're best bet is to get a good reference book/ ID book. So that you can look in the tanks and research on the spot. I've got...

Thanks! Anyone know any good books?

It's unnatural and cannot be good for the offspring...

Thank you guys!! I guess the biggest thing I was curious about was if it is possible to grow frags in a 20 gallon, but it sounds like I can! Thanks!!!

Yes. Either a bunch of different males or about 3-5 species with 1m and 3/4f. What are you looking for? Do you wanna deal with babies? - I switched to an all male so that I don't have to strip and grow out an deal with babies. Lol How much color do you want? - I also switched to males for...

I do not support intentional crossbreeding. It's against nature and will have long term detrimental effects on cichlids as a whole. However, selective breeding (color morphs, albinism, and other recessive traits) is fine in all regards.

My fish seem to be most social/ tolerate each other best when they're eating- cause who wouldn't be happy?! I feed 2-3 times a day, but in real small amounts; it forces them to all be near one another, plus, it teaches them that motion out side of the tank is good and that they shouldn't hide! Lol

It's hard to say. Right off the bat, I would say female based upon lacking the black on the pec fins. However, I do see white coloring on re throat and other places, which points to crossbreeding. If that's the case, it could be a male with poor colors...

Lol. Yeah don't mess with a stable thing when it comes to cichlids! Haha And yeah. It's hard to break that attachment sometimes!

Well if you're after color and variety, have you thought about going to an all male tank? I recently just returned a bunch of fish to the lfs and kept only some choice males: Electric Yellow Lab (Labridochromis c.) Electric Blue Hap (Sciaenochromis fryeri) Zebra Obliquens (Astatotilapia...

Yes. This app is amazing!!!!

Just out of curiosity; why have you chose this St k? Availability, personal choices, etc?

Actually, alls you gotta do is say pick any fish, and ten you can go in and edit all the info for it. So I'll like pick "Acei Cichlid" and then I'll go thru and rename it all and edit the info to match say my Flameback

Also, what are all the decorations? Plastic? Concrete? Wood? Any rock you've collected outside???

So I'm coming into this a little late- sorry! But I am curious what is your stock??

Elmers totally sucks! Way too commercialized! Wet Pets is good; once again, can be pricey and aimed toward inexperienced clientele. My two favorite are Oddball Pets (they breed a lot and got hundreds of species to choose from- not a huge selection of salt water) And Aqua World Super Pet...

Yes! They are very cool! I just got an Astatotilapia latifiscia (sp?) recently; it's pretty peaceful, and like the blood throat, much different looking than the 'normal' cichlids. Lol

http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/thor_brauschi.php What you gonna try to keep them with?

I've been keeping fw for quite a while but I'm curious in getting started with a freshwater tank... If I wanted to try a sw tank, what would I need? I'm thinking I'd like to do a 20 gallon with corals, maybe a fish. Lol But the main thing would be like buying cheaper small coral frags and...

Peacocks are the best as far as not much aggression relatively speaking. It's very possible it could just rubbed up against anything. If there's no real aggression and it's just a single scale, I wouldn't worry too much
