Can Someone Please Identify These Tank Inhabitants For Me?

wonderer · Aug 28, 2013

Hi everyone.

I am currently researching my first Cichlid tank stocking and came across this photo. I love the colours present and may like to copy the stock. Can anyone identify the species present here and also tell me if this is a responsible collection of fish? Would they all get on? First and foremost I want the fish to be happy so wanted to makes ure this gathering would work.

Many thanks

The one on the far left i think is a Parrot Cichlid if im not mistaken.

Sorry, I don't know a lot about cichlids - they look like African Cichlids so maybe you could start here and see what you can identify from that tank...

It looks like a tank of various malawi to me, plus a parrot, which doesn't really belong in that setup. So yes, minus the parrot that would be fine but you need a high pH and hard water for them.

Sorry yes I should have elaborated. I know they are African Cichlids except the large one on the left. Just not sure what each fish is? Are the yellow ones Electric yellow labs?

well, you should really worry about the parrot, remeber they thrive in low PH imagine what high Ph does to them....
