Loopy Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 i would be inclined to agree. i am fairly sure it is a haplochromis/Dimidiochromis of some sort http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/dimid_compress.htm Looks big, ugly and nasty.

ryanjury Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 They can live with electric yellow's bear in mind anything small enough to be considered food will be food, they have big mouths and can grow to be big fish.. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... hp?id=1062 http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/d ... siceps.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 You could probably stick it with all of those fish if you wanted it is the same old water preferences thing that is the problem but fish adjust depends if your a purist or just down with whatever. He could probably go with giraffes provided they aren't bite sized for him I haven't actually kept these I just did research on them and considered getting some over a year ago now but decided not to risk my peacocks and stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyNat Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yeah i read on the cichlid forum website that giraffes are suitable tank mates for the malawi eye biter. Maybe i could get it. Is it hard to get more in the south island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
