Got 3 of these (1m 2f) but don't know what exactly they are. Look like a Lake Victoria cichlid but just unsure of the name. Maybe Pundamilia nyererei?Any ideas?


On a side note one of the females is holding already and so there might be fry available in the near future if anyone is interested.

There are a couple that look very similar however this looks like a Pundamilia nyererei (Ruti Island) to me. Which is semi common among victorians. Beautiful fish! Does he look like this all the time or is he displaying his mating colors??

 

[Nick_87]

That was my best guess too and he is always this color since I got him a month or so ago but he is only about 2 1/4" so I can't wait to see what he looks like a little bigger and filled out.

I love the Victorian males. They are some of the most colorful fish around I think. Feisty guys too and most can hold their own in a tank. Great looking fish both of those above.
