My Af tank is a 5ft 120g. I have about 25 or so assorted. The ones I can identify are Demasoni, Edwardi, Auratus, Red Jewel, Chilumba, Kribensis, Yellow Lab,Blue Hap Ahli, OB Peacock, Blue Bumblebee, and what I think are hybrid mbuna. A handful I have no idea, but they are pretty!myerscichlids23 wrote: Ok thank you! Suprd71, how big is your tank and what else do you have in there with him?

let me just tell you that if it was sold in a an assorted cichlid tank that fish is not a pure blood fish .. it is a hybrid showing kenyi traits like Ken said ...
Are hybrids a bad thing? This is really my first run with cichlids! What kind of tank mates would you suggest? Other mbunas?

Ya for the core hobbyist hybrids are a really bad thing but don't worry about it if you stay in the hobby long enough you'll learn all about it. I suggest you do some research an African tank isn't something you just want to go haphazard into they are beautiful if done right and a complete PITA that you will HATE if not
