herefishiefishie Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 i got given it from animates in Wellington. it was the only one they had and didnt know what it was. :evil: its only two centermetres at the moment :evil: Thats one thing I hate about this industry, companys selling fish they dont have names for, or make up names. Also what are they doing selling cichlids at such a small size. Post a pic up when it gets bigger, at that size to hard for anyone to be 100% sure.

babymama Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 ok so i now know what it is. its a blue and white zebra cichild. does anyone know how agressive these fish get? and what other fish go with it? i know that it does not go with ANY of the fish i had with it and it has to have dark gravel and no plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 its a blue and white zebra cichild. dear oh dear, did they not have a scientific name. I have never heard of a Blue & white zebra?? Most Zebras are aggressive, its just beacause in the wild zebras tend to have larger territories than other cichlids.
