green fish

[pete28]

hi all i have a 45 gallon setup with african cichlids of every color you could think of but i have no green. Is there any green fish out there. PLEASE DONT REPLY if you are going to mention DYED fish i think this practice is appalling to say the least.
thank you for any help

Sorry, but there are no green mbuna, and I wouldn't put much else in an mbuna tank.

I use plants to get some green.

[thecichlidaddict]

Good point, I don't know where I got that idea from

What kind of cichlids are your 'africans' pete?

 

[bshockstubb]

Ahhh....I have one for you....It lives in the lakes of Mexico though...It is called Salvin's Cichlid.( Heros Salvini) But they are very aggressive.Do some research i'll say. The Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid(apistogramma cacatuoides) is also very cool. so uh look at these I hope they work!
