Thanks jckingjc, My bad pics don't do there color any justice, they shimmer with gold and purple under the right light. BUT! and that's a big but, when in the majority of my tank they just blend in to the background with a brownish green tinge. Not very exciting Thanks Mike

Hi Guys, I'm Mike, living in Albany, Auckland Had an option for a cheep (scratched) AR980 a few months back, so I thought id have a go with a few Malawi Cichlids. I'm very much in to the tech side of things, and am always looking at ways to make things look tidier, easier to work with and work more effectively. Currently working in sports Irrigation (golf,bowls,sports fields etc) design, import & distribution, I have contacts to get almost anything I want to do with water through suppliers for my diy projects. My current main set up includes -AR980, running original filter -CF1200 canister -Weipro MX10/22 300w heater, in a custom external inline tube + 2 smaller tanks. 28l & 54l, which I'm growing out a few fry in. I've brought most of my fish off people who belong to this forum, and they have all been very helpful and more than happy to share info. Fish-main tank. 4x Electric Yellow Labs (+ my first 5 fry the other day ) 2x Aroura male juveniles (not to sure on these yet) 7x Blue zebra juveniles (to be thinned down to a 4 when they are easier to sex) 4x random zebra crosses (soon to be removed and sold off, I think) Fish-smaller tanks. 2x Peach zebra (soon to be sold off) 5x sp. taiwan reef On my to get list.

Wow camtang, Thanks for showing a new forum member how the executives treat there animals. Classy mate, classy

Thanks ryanjury, Thats about how I feel about it all as well, defiantly a hybrid of some sort. Not sure what Im going to do with them yet, probably just end up on trade me for a buck each. Thanks Mike

Ok, so I stumbled across this with the help of a friend Possible ID Could be a poor quality Pseudotropheus Flavus (Dinghani cichlid)

Yeah, They have a gold/greenish sheen to them (kind of like a giraffe cichlid) with purple around the head and lower fins, and are females, I have 4, although one is alot darker in color than the others. When I got them was told they were possibly red top hongi, But I don't think so!! Was thinking the same thing with the blue zebra cross though Thanks Mike

Thanks Calculator, will remember that for next time!!

Sorry guys, not so good at the internet photo thing!! Thanks Mike

Hi Guys Got these fish a week or so ago, Probably hybrids. But, if any one knows different, please let me know. Or evan if you can match the the hybrid to a possible mother and father species. Thanks Mike
