Haplochromis sp.44 "Red Tail"
Ya this is the son, he has now taken over as the alpha. He is really good looking, the father also can show the same color just does not always
Things to know about them, best if kept in a group of a couple females to one male, problem is they breed like rabbits, maybe worse, I started with 2 in my tank and pulled the mother out when she first started holding, I did that twice, now I just leave them in the tank because I have 5 mothers holding right now. They do need space as when they mate they pic a place and then defend it from any male and other cichlids same size, anything much larger they leave alone. With my large tank he likes to rule half of it when he is courting the ladies which is about 50% of the time min. Fun to watch, I should shoot a video of him.
Beautiful fish!! That's all I can say lol... Can u put them w yellow labs or mingo cichilds ?
