Update: I have 1 blue kenyi looking fish and two yello lab lookling fish now, all purchased from the assorted African tank. In about a month I will be moving these guys to a 75 gallon that I have. Thanks for everyones input

It was my first time going and it was super awesome! I came to check the comments and wondered if there were times there was a larger turnout, glad my first time turned out to be the most successful! I will definitely come to the next one!

its not letting me upload photos but go to my mfk link or visit mfk and type 'new to African cichlids' in the search bar

Thanks, I'll check them out. I'm aware of the commercial hybridization that occurred with the midas and red devil cichlids and it is my understanding that the African cichlids experience the same thing. I'm more interested in experiencing and breeding the original species as I've never kept...

Yeah I initially didn't realize how much aggression varies in these fish as well as how much space they need to manage the aggression. I thought all mbuna were similar in behavior.

Yeah I won't get into breeding them yet as I want to get some bonified strains, wouldn't mind breeding this yellow hybrid looking one though just for my own enjoyment as it is super colorful like a salt water fish. I'm just trying to experience keeping them for the first time before I commit to...

Thanks!

And yeah I've kept most common sa/ca cichlids for the past 15 years, don't post much though but I'll occasionally peruse the forums depending on how much time I've dedicated to the hobby as I've moved a lot and establish new tanks and get rid of them or have them in storage.

Thanks yes, they are real purty

more pictures on my mfk post -- https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/new-to-africans.723312/ Bought these the other day from my local PetSmart in the 'assorted Africans' tank. They are about 1.5 - 2". They are in a 29 gallon tank just the two of them. This is my first time ever...

Where are you located? I'm interested in the discus

Where are you located? And would u be willing to trade for a 40 gallon long?
