Galabar Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) Owner needs a new home for these. The think they are zebra cichlids. About 3-4 inches for the three males and about 1/2 of that for the female. To me they look like convict cichlids... Edited June 11 by Galabar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOLANANO Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Possibly Frontosa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galabar Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Yeah, I don't think my tank of mostly yellow labs would be a good match for these guys... 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware Convict Cichlid breed easily and get highly aggressive during that time. @Galabar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) possibly african. metriaclima fainzilberi. or other metriaclima species. looks like what imp. trop. has for sale sort of looks like a frontosa, sort of looks like a convict. looks closer to the zebra from africa just the head structure itself looks correct. then the long dorsal fin. even has the correct number of stripes. plus the guy said he thought it was a zebra cichlid. I'd edit out the logo. but not sure how to Edited June 11 by Tony s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I could be totally wrong but the little guy tucked to the right make me say convict. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) @Galabar I don't think your yellow labs are a good mix either. these appear to be much larger and more aggressive just the lips and front face structure tell me it is the zebra cichlid Edited June 11 by Tony s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Payne Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 They appear to be convicts. Any pics of the females to confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Convicts is my guess. Or possibly Africans like @Tony s mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope Biologist Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 They are convicts their fins look pretty heavily tattered from constant fighting. If you decide to keep them you might want to get them an aloe based fin repair serum, left to their own devices those fins could very easily become infected 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
