What is a rift valley? I know it's one of the types of lakes in Africa, but I am a total newbie to cichlids. They aren't my thing. My boyfriend bought this fish totally ill prepared and I am just praying it's not a Golden Mbuna, because it's going in a 20 gallon. There's nothing we can do about the tank size, and he will not take this fish back. I told him if it dies, it dies..
Are you confirming my fears that this is a juvenile mbuna?
