bigfishhead Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 First and third picture looks like Lionhead cichlids to me.The second one looks like electric blue fryeri but not 100% sure. How big are they?You may want to post this in Cichlid section to draw more attention. So others may give some more advise on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexyay Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 +1 for the first and third being Lionheads Unfortunately I don't know about the second, sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Spots on the middle one make me think a copadichromis- but other bits make me think it is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Cichlids in NZ are virtually impossible to ID unless they are purchased directly from a reputable breeder. This is because the majority are mouthbrooders and only purists keep one species per tank, therefore cross breeding occurs. Best bet is to say 'looks like ...' Would love to see a full tank shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
