[Rossco]

So at my local fish store today looking at the cichlids and we couldn't figure out what this one was. It's all black with a darker black striped pattern on its body and a little bit of white running down the fin on his/hers back! Any of ideas. He's bout 2 to 2.5 ich long. Any ideas..?

Is that fresh water ?

 

[mzzguillory]

Hes a acei for sure...

 

[mzzguillory]

Baby kenyi? Arnt they yellowish?

 

[Rossco]

Kenyi are both yellow and blue where I'm from motly we get blue and yes it's fresh water it's a cichlid tank !?! I believe blue Kenyi are mostly females. I'm prob wrong tho

 

[Rossco]

Who's a ace I? The black one.?

 

[mzzguillory]

Yeah theres a acei thats black wiyh whiye fins...starts with a p.....cant remeber the whole name. Hes really pretty. I would love a black cichlid.

 

[mzzguillory]

With white fins..sry I type too fast.

 

[mzzguillory]

Oh and yeah theres a few species that the males are always blue and the female start off yellow. Jahonnis are one.

 

[Rossco]

Ye I really liked those fish so I picked him up got him for a really good price. Kinda just hoped it would work in my African tank so far soo good but only time will tell right! If not back to Lfs he goes !

 

[mzzguillory]

Yeah they always nice when young though. Time will tell. Lol. Someone once told me it was bad to pair them and thats all I have is pairs...kinda worries me.

 

[mzzguillory]

I wondar if ya blacky friend is african or american...hmm

 

[Rossco]

Was in a African tank labels assorted Africans. I'msure if the owner was in she'd tell me 100 precent . But only a worker was in

 

[cichlidman99]

[mzzguillory]
