Nice Pics Paul,

Can you tell me, how you can tell which is the Male and which is the Female.

Are these able to go into a Comm Tankies, or are they best in a tank of there own?

Lynda

the male has a more pointed dorsal fin and the female is more colourful.

No there not to go into a community tank ( swordtails .plties etc ) or they will eat the lot. but can go in with a community of similar cichlids ( malawis )

Paul i wouldn't add Cons with Malawis as they have completely

different water requirements, and like you said not a community tank,

But you can keep them with other medium aggressive SA cichlids

if you have a big enough tank? just watch out for some fireworks

when the Cons get into breeding mode as they will take on all comers

in defense of their young. :)

Here's a pic of my favourite female.
