Topic: Got my new cichlids yesterday!!

[ruthcatrin]

(spread out over two different tanks)

2 Neolamprologus buescheri Kachese

5 Lamprologus melegrise

5 Altolamprologus calvus Inkfin

I'll get pics once they're settled in.  They're juvi's, but I can already tell the individuals apart.  Someone tell me why they don't sell the little guys like the melegrise in stores?? I've been satisfying my cichlid want by putting a single fish in a 20g (usually a single 6 inch Kenyi) with what ever other fish they'll tolerate (which in some cases wasn't much).  These little guys are cute as a button & already exploring the tank & settling on teritories.

Finially got some pics of these guys!  The inkfins still aren't much to look at, they didnt want to cooperate for the camera, but the melegrise cooperated wonderfully!

Can deffo understand the abundance of the melegrise pics, they're gorgeous!

They were really funny too.  Usually when i haul out the camera fish act like the inkfins did, they run to the back of the tank & try to hide.  The melegrise ran to the FRONT of the tank & started showing off!
