ADMWNDSR83 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I have ventured into the world of (slightly) larger African cichlids. With my water hardness and the ph of my buffered tank, it only seemed right. For dither, I have a small school of 6 African Red-Eye tetras, which are visible in some of the following pictures. I then got three cichlids, which is where the wisdom of the forum comes in. One of the cichlids, my favorite of them at this point actually, was bought from a tank that was listed as "Peacocks." He has a really cool striping of red, white, and blue at the tip of his upper fin. Now that I've looked around, I starting to think he may be a hap instead. The other two were bought from an "Assorted African cichlid" tank, one of which I believe I identified as another hap (the red and yellow with the bold lines), but I'm not sure on the blue. At this point they are all happily coexisting, but I was hoping the forum may have the id of all three, just so I know and can dig in a little more on the research.

ScottieB Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Nice! I’ll take a stab at the ID. I love this game! The first one could be a Hap variety like “red empress”. The second is likely a Hap obliquidens (Lake Victoria). The blue one is probable Pseudotropheus socolofi. Hope that helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
