Subject: Re: ID this cichlid game. Sun Nov 23, 2008 9:15 am

Haplochromis species #44 red tail?
Looks like a Victorian

Subject: Re: ID this cichlid game. Sun Nov 23, 2008 11:50 am

You Win. I give up. Very Happy

Vics have never been one of my strong points. I've only had breeding groups of Pundamilia sp. "Crimson Tide" , Haplochromis sp. "Thick Skin" , and Paralabidochromis chromogynos. I will be interested in finding out what your guy is.
