Ok I saw this fish in the shop that looked really good.

It was black and in the middle had a thick yellow stripe of color which would come and go depending on how nervous it was. It has a huge flat type of head. Im thinkin its a hap. Anyone know?

Thanks Darrel your a star lol, Ill go search it up now

Brings me onto my next question, these guys are Herbivores, like High PH, agressive is there anyway I could get one in my tank?

 

[darrel69]

No worries.. found it HERE

What tank you got and what you got in it ?? Too right these guys are aggressive and need to be kept in large groups. They're also very prone to bloat.

Its at the shop, Im asking as these guys like their veggies, rocky habitat and maybe agressive enough to be put in tank with mbuna

Oh sure, they can be mixed with Mbuna alright. In that case, i think it may be wise to just have the one then... My only concern would be that any meat you may be feeding your Mbuna from time to time (even the tiniest amount), may cause him to develop bloat.

I never feed my Mbuna meat...it gives them bloat, as well....I found that out the hard way!
