2fishy Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Ive been given a fish. Im pretty sure its a dwarf cichlid. Its got a brownish body with a horizontal dark black stripe through the middle and then lighter horizontal black stripes underneath the dark one. The fins are an orangey colour. at the mo its about 2-3cm in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2fishy Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 looks more like the female......a supplier wouldnt just give me one of these fish??? how much are they worth retail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 i paid $30ea but that was an awesome deal, around tauranga lfs' they have them for at least $40...so about $20 if you can get them from the wholesaler, just make sure to specify if you want triple reds or double reds (double reds only have colour on the dorsal and caudal fin(tail fin), triple reds have colour on the dorsal, caudal and anal (three fins coloured, hence the name "triple" red). these are awesome fish.
