The first 4 arrived yesterday, got roughed up a little by the Tropheus. The Flame Tail is the most impressive. Right now I have 16 fishes in the tank.
Not the best shots¡­

Aulonocara hansbaenschi Regal 4+"


Aulonocara maulana Bicolor 500 4-"


Aulonocara Ngara Flame Tail 4+"


Aulonocara malela Lemon Jake 3.5"


Aulonocara Firefish


Tropheus moorii Moliro 4"


Thanks for looking.

Nelson,can you take a full view tank shot,i wanna see the 3D back ground with the fish around it.
i don't know much about cichlids but they should be great addition.

How big is your tank? I love the background bro. Hope you give us a full shot.

I bet those africans love those caves/cracks, the peacocks are stunning. Are you going to be adding more male peacocks to the tank?

Thanks for the comments.

It is a 72 gallon.

Ken, right now I am 70% stocked from its limit. So another 1 or 2 Peacocks if quality and temperament are right

Here is a quick snap from today.


And a night shot, with actinic lighting only.

Very nice Nelson! Is that fire fish same as Ruby Red?

100% nice show males add some more male peacock only no haps they get bigger than these guys the lemon jake gets 8" the ngara gets 5" and the hybrid gets 7" the more the merrier with these guys and no females and add salt,bakingsoda,and temp keep low 70's and thell do fine

That's what we call B A C K G R O U N D!!!!

Appreciate it, guys.

Ricky, Firefish is all red, and Ruby Red has blue face/head. Typically Firefish is redder, but all depends on genetics, can¡¯t tell until they are full-grown ¨C which takes well over a year, hence the $. I got this guy when it was 1.75¡±, just as red, and many think it was hormonal.
I have a 2.5¡± Ruby in there, with very little color ¨C normal for the size.
The other post you asked about the Ruby and Baenschi. if $ is not an issue, I would take a chance on the Ruby Red. The yellow one seemed to be very young, and its fins look too long and pointy for its age.

thanks for the pic Nelson,amazing show tank you have.
