I need help guys...
I just got this little fella today, the guy in the store told me it was an Sulphur Crested cichlid, but comparing the pics I found I'm not very sure about it....I need the PRO'S advice!
Thank you.

ok people, thank you very much....so it looks that I ended up with 2 males T-reefs.....will they fight if i keep them in the 250 G?

javier they should be fine in a 250 G. I got my male at Petsmart (i never shop there for fish but could not resist) they were selling it as hap ahli and sold it for $3.99 at a 2" size here in toronto where as big al's sell a fully coloured 2" male $15 and up. Nice looking T-Reef though =)

They'll be fine...I had a 1m/1f awhile back and they spawned about 2 months later and I had about 40 fry or so...still have about 10 or so left and they are about 2"....if you can, get ahold of some females and add to tank...what else do you have in the tank? You said 250gl so I'm assuming you have plenty of room for them to mate....

Robert females won't show all that color in peacocks. The longer pointed do

Roger Hopper, 2009-01-08 03:56

It's a wonderful life Mary.

Robert both are right, this looks to be a strawberry or dragons blood male
