Yabbie Dabbie Do Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I was just wondering if any body knows of green coloured African cichlids? I was looking through my cichlid book and found some awsome looking green zebras. I was just wondering if anybody elso knows of some green coloured African cichlids.

benno Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Rostratus are everywhere mate you shouldnt have too much hassle locating a few. They get pretty massive(have seen a big male roughly 30cm) but seemed relatively peaceful and was housed with heaps of small and medium africans in a 6x2x2..

Andrew Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Many Lethrinops species are green. You should be able to find L. sp. "Red Cap" around and they are lovely.The greenest of the Malawis by far would be Champsochromis spilorhynchus. They are hard to find, and they are also big and mean - but you would be hard-pressed to find a more impressive looking fish than an adult spilo!Cheers,Andrew.
