Naz_Nomad Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Well, I now have a Rifts tank and would love to know the name and origins of the remaining "unnamed" cichlids I have in there... Answer correctly and you *could* win a cruise (or not), but any help from the experts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Oh, and I know they're not the best pictures, just do your best eh?

Dixon1990 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Cant help onthe IDs. But i do think you should seperate those fish into differsnt lake tanks 8) Tangs are soo much cooler! :lol: Pic1 looks like demasoni, but im probably wrong and pic 3 is just cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz_Nomad Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 It would be nice to have the space to seperate them into different tanks. Maybe when I move house and get a whole room just for fishy stuff... 8) Pics 3 & 4 are gorgeous fish, they will be awesome when they grow up some. Got three of the pic 4 and just the one pic 3 fishies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johannes Visser Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Blue fish in second pick a bit of a mystery, wonder if the last pick is of a Ice blue female anyone else ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 As Johannes said... The second pic.. Naz, are you able to get a front on shot for me... or more side on, front side on shot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz_Nomad Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Odd bunch I personally would not keep that combination together Thank you very much Johannes... Out of interest, why not? I realise the mix isn't well planned or anything, but I would welcome advice on why these are not ideally suited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Oh I meant the mbuna in the second pic 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz_Nomad Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 What size is that tank? The tank is a 3 foot tank and will be upgraded eventually to either a four/five or eight foot tank once I move house and gain more space and sell my car to afford bigger tanks. These will probably be going into the main tank, which is currently planned as an eight foot. The Oscars will go in the four or five foot tank in the study. The wife seems to think that selling the car will pay for blinds for the new place. I say we can afford both! Especially with my back pay and pay rise due in a couple of months!! Woo Hoo! MTS!

Johannes Visser Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 personally I have had all sort in mix tanks for display sometimes it dose not work well don't keep tangs with haps or mubuna they always seem to get the shorter end of the stick! :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naz_Nomad Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 The second pic.. Naz, are you able to get a front on shot for me... or more side on, front side on shot... And the chances of the little guys staying still now I actually need to take a picture are slim. Here's my best effort so far... Of course, he has now decided to take a dump... typical!

If any of the guys get beaten up, there will be plenty of space to rehouse them in another month or two. As they are all happy at the moment, they can stay together. Especially as I don't have space to rehouse at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hmmm it isn't what I thought it may have been... the face is way diff... :roll: Where did you get the fish from Naz? Breeder or LFS... and was it labelled anything in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz_Nomad Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 It was in a tank I bought and was just a "killer cichlid". I have suspitions that it may be a hybrid of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 "killer cichlid" Oh is it one of those is it :lol: Yes well certainly leaning more towards hybrid possibly... the face is all wrong too... JMT 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yep def demasoni, brichardi and litho male.. Last pic I am not convinced of ice blue female it could be but would need more pic's they not usually show that much barring but could at a random point in time.. The other zebra, who knows? As afrikan said it depends if it came from a breeder or petshop most likely hybrid maybe aurora but ive never kept them (maybe johannes can help here).. Mix isn't all bad I currently keep my pulchers and jullies in my big african display tank here http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/my-tank--vt31753.html they probably get picked on the least because they small and so much different to the other fish they don't see them as a threat. They are at a long term risk of becoming front/giraffe food but will be removed before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant N Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Agree with Ryan, doesn't look like the ice blue zebra females I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
