For sure and ahli. I have the same electric blue one in my tank. The color will get more intense over time

Maybe a dragon blood for the orange one and an electric blue is the other would be my guess

Yea I like the natural look too but the plants help break the line of sight with the African cichlids and it really helps with aggression in my tank at least

I recently just got two because that's all they had and they fight all the time. Gonna get a few more and see if it helps

Yes i would turn them off for a day or two when adding new fish so they aren't gonna be picked on more than the other. I even cover mine with a blanket to really stop light from going in, it makes the fish very sleepy an they don't fight or get stressed. Have you tested your water also? Is...

Are any of your other fish that were in there doing that? Because if there wasn't enough oxygen then they all would be doing it. When I put new fish in I turn off the lights and cover the tank for a while so they can calm down.

And how big is your guy?

Well it's still pretty cool looking. How big do they get? And what size tank is yours in?

Yea it is an African cichlid yellow lab is the "slang" name for it. You could have some with it yes. Maybe a few others too but dentally have to get a bigger tank as the labs get 5-7 inches

Awesome. You own one? Could you post a pic of yours? Do they tend to color up more? I know he's a little stressed from the new tank too. He is pretty big tho. Do they color up late? Sorry for the questions. Just wanna know everything I can about this guy. He is pretty sweet

Also I got this guy today too. Sold to me as a strawberry peacock or something like that! Lol any ideas about this one too? Or the other one?

Just some yellow labs and babies that have survived from random batches lol

Looks like yellow lab. Can't have a lot in a 30 gallon.

I can get some photos later. I actually got some new fish today too so I have the tank covered up right now to dim the light and keep the aggression down while they are new to the tank. I also moved some away from the left side just farther out so they had room like you said. They are liking...

Ok I can for sure see how they look alike. The guy at the store said try were thinking it could be a red empress I think. Any other guesses or is that a definite? Haah I'd believe you, def know more than me

Here's another pic of him or her? Anyone know if its male or female?

I got this guy today for 15 bucks! He is about 4-5 inches and has some good color. Anyone know what he is?

Rescape with no plants

Any suggestions or comments are appreciated! Thank you

I kinda thought so too. What makes you doubt it tho?

What kind of cichlid is this?

That's what I have been reading! Do they eat at all when carrying? Or is there anything I should or shouldn't be doing? I moved her cave once to see if she was alive because I haven't seen here in a while. Anything helps!

Anyone have anything? She still will not come out of her cave at all.

So about 4 months back I bought a neon red lobster. It's in a 20 long and waters are all fine. It has molted once and now has been staying in its whole allll the time. So I decided to pick it up and look in to see if it was alive. Lol come to find out it looks like its carrying eggs. But I have...

Are they bad for the tank or my fish or shrimp?
