electricyellowz Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Maybe some peacock males a few more clown loaches and more yellows would look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzzy Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Maybe some peacock males a few more clown loaches and more yellows would look pretty good. More salousi and more E.yellows. Blue and yellow always make a great contrast. Its a shame that there arnt more red cichlids..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzzy Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 yeh theres not many red cichlids out there is there. Indeed, Although we should clarify and say "African Cichlids). Im not a S. American fan, but i do believe there are quite a few red/orangish ones in there. I would love to see a red morph of an E.Yellow or E.Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricyellowz Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I would love to see a red morph of an E.Yellow or E.Blue So would I or even a real red morph of a lake malawai fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulochromis Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 estherae are pretty red in colour. likewise red rubens peacocks. red empress? red kadango? the red anal fins of good e. blues and dimi comp/strigatus as well as some of the protomelas can be nice too..

electricyellowz Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Yeah I forgot about some of those fish. The red from the Kadango and empress would look really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
