Well .
If your new for africans ill tell you alittle about them.
>They all come from africa.(lol)
>Other african you see if tanks labled as "Assorted Africans" are most likley hybrids.
>If your a beginner on Africans try kribensis(Pelvichromis Pulcher)
Easy to breed. males get 3-4" and female are usually 3".
Have lots of caves for them.
.
>Other african cichlids you see are mouth brooders.They carry the eggs in there mouth for a month or 24 days.and release the fry.
But after that they have really nothin to do with the fry and might eat them.
wow, ya im new to africans lol. mmmm Well i'll ask the shops around here if they can get kribensis's and see how much they would be. I love cichlids so i want to keep something that would fit in my tank lol. For the kribensis can you tell them male/female when there young? cause all the shops around here if they can get them in they wont be adults they will be babies or very young adults.
OH OH OH hey now the shop here gets Jewel Cichlid's in. I heard thats a african fish. Do they get big? i will do alot of reading before i do get any other fish tho lol.
For sexing kribs its pretty easy.
Males will have long fins and an eye spot on there tail and the dorsal.
Where as the female will probibly have only a spot on her dorsal.
When your picking out kribs the female will probibly short and chunky.
Jewel cichlids get alittle bigger getting about 5" and are abit more agressive than kribs so id probibly go with kribs.
