Ok, I'm new to Cichlids and hobby fish. I've only ever had goldfish and random guppies. Anyway, I've posted this in a couple other areas but haven't really had any clear answers, per se. Sorry if I should have posted this somewhere else :blush:

I have 6 little white Cichlids. I bought them being told they were baby Parrot Cichlids and that they would get their orange color when they matured. I was told both parents were Blood Parrots. I'm assuming there is a Convict in that breeders tank and that is what fertilized the eggs...but that's an assumption :dunno: I really don't know. I've also been told they look like Pink Convicts and Jellybeans.

What exactly do they look like? And any idea if they will change color when they get larger? They're in a 75 gal and the biggest is about 2", the smallest maybe an inch, if that. Personally, I don't really care what exactly they are or if they stay white/change color, etc it'd just be nice to know what I have lol

Here are some videos. I couldn't get a clear enough picture.



 
The links aren't working. :no: If you copy the IMG link under the pic you want to post and then paste it in your reply, the pics should show up.
 
Look like jellybeans (Dwarf Jellybean Convict) if they are not coloured (dyed) stay a pinky white.

" A cross between a parrot and a convict which is probably why they call it a jellybean convict. They are smaller then regular parrots as well, hence the name dwarf. Mostly they are just called jellybeans. "
 
Thanks.

Do you know how big they'll get approx? What other Cichlids could go in with them? I have a feeling I'm going to turn my 75 gal into a Cichlid tank, if I can.
