If it's an african cichlid you're talking about the only one with a name close to that is Demasoni (Pseudotropheus Demasoni). My avatar is a pic of one - is this what you mean?
 
That would explain why its in the c*****d section lol.

My bad!

Not neccessarily - my 1st thought was Puntius denisoni :lol:

I considered moving it but lets see the response. :D
 
No problem - one of my personal favourites.

They are a very aggressive species and are best kept either singularly with other aggressive Mbuna or in a heavily overstocked species only tank. They are small by Mbuna standards, only reaching around 3.5-4" - don't let that fool you though, these guys can be vicious especially towards their own kind and fish of a similar appearance.

They can also work well (ironically) with yellow labs, despite being at opposite ends of the aggression scale. I know lots of people who have kept these 2 species together with no problems (in 55 gal tanks or larger). They are herbivores and need a diet with a high spirinula content and no meaty protein.

Hope that helps. :good:
 
Not a chance - an adult Front would easily eat Demasoni and Convicts have different water parameter requirements - not to mention mixing convicts and Demasoni would be like starting WW3. :lol:
 
Gotta love the lfs's advice!

get them to show you in the shop tank lol, that might make em give out advice thats not based on a profit margin!

THEY HAVE A 2000L DISPLAY TANK WITH CONS, FRONTS DEMASONI CHOCOLATES, GOLD HEADS THE LIDT GOES ON AND ON.....
 
ALSO, THOUGH I CANT GET A PIC NOW A YELLOW DEMISONI - BLACK STRIPES THE SAME AS THE BLUE ONE BUT YELLOW????
 
The yellow fish will either be Pseudotropheus Flavus (quite rare) or Maylandia Crabro. If the dark stripes are black - its Flavus. If they are dark brown - its Crabro.
 
I'm not sure what you mean - there is no such thing as a yellow Demasoni. Both males and females of the species are black and blue.
