torchy Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Hi all, I have 3 acei's and have noticed that the tail colours are not the same, the largest one (which i assume to be the male) has the typical yellow tail, but the two smaller ones have more orange fins. Was wondering if this means anything. Cheers Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I am guessing that you are talking about Pseudotropheus acei tanzania ? and if so they should look like this (acei picture) if they are the same fish but have more orange than yellow then they could have been coloured feed with something like tetrabits .

torchy Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 Yea they are the right fish (nice pic too)... I am feeding them New life Spectrum cichlid mix, I had thought of the colouring agent but was just wondering if here may be another explaination.
