Hongi from lake Malawi

Awesome thanks guys :)

My best guess is it's a flame back

That is not a adult crimson tide... That is a adult flame back!!

Watch this and it'll talk you through it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPtENJYXf9k

Mainganos have clean light blue strips whereas johannis have more dotted lines

They also do "the dance" in front of other makes to show dominance

Defiantly not a crimson tide, looks more like a flameback (the last pic you've uploaded)

Looks like it may be a hybrid tbh... But to 100% determine the sex you'll need to vent it

Pretty much any plant is going to get destroyed IMO, try fake plants, that's what I've got. You can try some of the Anubis, they seem to be tougher for the cichlids to rip through

Black one is the red one is most likely not

hey all :D so im turning my 4ft tropical into a african tank, ive got a 3ft african tank so i know how it all works, just they are out growing the 3ft so im putting them in the 4ft. only problem is my 4ft is set up as a tropical atm and its ph is at a 6.5, so what would be the best way to raise...

When is the earliest I can strip a yellow lab and have the yellow lab fry be free swimming?

Which would be safest for her future?

Okay so my electric yellow is holding for the first time and this is my first time I've had a cichlid holding, I be had african cichlids for around 3 months. So I'm wondering what I should do??? she's been holding for 5 days now and shoes tiny she's barely 6cm Thanks

Okay so in my 3ft african tank I have 7 common bn, they are appox 2.5 inches and I can see 4 males maturing, how long until they breed and when they do what should I do? If I leave them in there will they grow up? And do I have a alright ratio. Thanks Roy :)

Demasoni or yellows

I would say no from these photos

Here is a photo showing the change

Ok so the males go a purple to a blue with dark blue strips and females stay yellow.

Yep, you'll defiantly need to upgrade your tank

Johanni's are one of the most, if not the most aggressive african out there... You need a bigger tank or to add alot more fish to share the aggression or both :)

It is possible but as you will find they will most likely be unsuccessful until they grow and get abit more experience

Make Pseudotropheus Lombard maybe ??
