Electric Blue

[Angry_Platy]

The other day I saw some electric blues at my LFS....they are only juvies and don't have any colour yet and cost $14.90 each. I was thinking of getting 4, maybe 6. Obviously the trouble at their age is sexing them, I'd ideally like more females however the males are so much prettier so its not a problem if I get more males.

Other inhabitants of the tank (75gal) they will be going in include Cyrtocara moorii, Yellow labs, Pseudotropheus acei, Iodotropheus sprengerae, Aulonocara, Clown Loaches, a RTBS and Bnose catfish...I have room for them and I think they'd make a nice addition to the tank....

Question- do they tend to get over aggressive? Would there be any aggression issues with the current fish in the tank? I figured there wouldn't be since they are babies but I wanted to make sure.

Its weird, in the last few weeks my LFS has had a few rarer species of fish that they normally wouldn't have. Its like I could have stocked my 75gal from scratch just in the last few weeks. Then theres the new batch of electic yellows which are SOOOO bright its scary

Its also freaky that the night before last I took the fish out of quarantine from the 6gal...hence making room for more new fish

Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated

Which electric blue is this, Johanni or Fryeri (Ahli)?

Sciaenochromis fryeri (excuse spelling)

I haven't bought them yet, I was kinda busy today spending money on non-fish stuff

I think Fryeri can make a nice addition.
