when i started with cichlids i brought 3 ( they called them Blue Zebras) and 3 Electric yellows. They got bigger one of the Blue ones changed in coloration. I had a change around in the tank and found the juveniles in a cave i had put in there. I thougt they wre one thing looking in my book but GMC made me Google Kenyi and what do you know i did have a Metriaclima as i thought but it was a sub Kenyi not a Zebra as i frist thought. I only added a Auratus last week and the 12cm Bristlenose has been there for about 6 months eating eggs. Oh got some platies in ther as well (they do get on well) I will how ever say that the kennyi in my book doz not look the same. The Aquarium fish hand book by Dick Mills & Derek Lambert

they are there babys. male is blue when they are small

yes i am realy happy with the way it turnd out, as i said i am new to this so any info would be great

yes i am really happy, I had two tanks one with Cichlids & one with Gourams,cherrys etc in it. It took awhile to pick a group so im happy i stayed with Cichlids. I have only been doing this for just over a year and it has been a up and down ride, but i think things are now looking up

yes i looked up kenyi and i ended up on a site called cichlid madness and what do know there they were, so yes you are right. They are a nice looking fish. It said they live for 10 years so that is also good. (did you see the offspring)

It Was a zebra when i got it,i am just going by the book, anyway have a relook at pics as i fixed a few things up and the added some more picks By the way it was blue

its been a long road to get this far

Tank is a Aqua One AR980 215ltr

done that but i still dont now how

how do you upload pictures?

i feed them once a day i hope that is alright.. they are a lot bigger now (had them a year)

i have one by the intake and one on an angle by the out take (this has the larger reading

they are out more now they are in a bigger tank

have 2 heaters in my tank set at 24 Aqua ones. (200watt) The tank is 215ltr Tthese heaters are at each end of the tank, as well as a termostat at each end as well. The readings i am getting are 26.3 & 27.1 so i went s**t and changed them to 22 with a reading of 24.9 & 25.9 on the thermostat. Anybody else have the same thing happen? I dont know which reading is right

sorry when i got them i was told they were blue zebras. The older ones look like the one in the book metriaclima zebra and then zebra under that. They like breeding The yellow ones caeruleus; blue-white labido as you see i have not been doing this long

yes my old 620t did that too but not this one

metriaclima

i thought about that, so you dont find the water running along the power cord?

thanks for that

going by my book.. 2 Auratus (melanochromis auratus) 3 Caeruleus (labidochromis caerules) I think we call it a electric yellow 7 Zebra (metriaclima zebra)

they are all in the new tank, now we will see if they are going to spend some time out in the open

its not a good look, i wonder why they have done it that way?

just got a new tank but where does the light cord suppose to be sitting? Does it come out the side or go under the filter?

get the new one today

What is a good way to help these fish spend more time out in the open? at the moment i have them in a 100ltr tank.... I am just going to have the one tank but un sure what... the new tank is 215ltrs
