GeeTee Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I bought a crimson tide yesterday.I had researched them but when I got him home he didn't match the photos exactly. Just wondering if anyone can tell me what type it is, as I have seen a few different types now. Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTee Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Thanks Mystic, They are a good looking fish aren't they? I just went looking for a link and I found this link to what appears to be the fish I bought,a Zebra Obliquidens http://www.africancichlids.net/Victoria ... ifasciata/ This is the link to what they are calling a crimsontide http://www.cichlidae.com/gallery/picture.php?p=843 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeTee Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Was lucky to find it in one of the lfs here.There was another male and quite a few females,so will probably get 2 females next time I'm in town.(soon hopefully) Also bought a Brichardi on the same day.They're plain in colour but have a nice shape.

James Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I've seen them in Jansens Mt Eden and Botany Downs have one in their big display tank + also at Butterfly Creek out by the airport they have about a 20 foot malawi and tang tank. The first time I saw them at Mt Eden they were selling them for about $15 so I went back in 2 weeks later and they were $40 so I gave it a miss. I think their also known as brown haps.
