we got to krib cichlids yesterday, whilst in the store they looked like a male and female however i posted earlier about one of them hiding which i thought was a female, on closer examination i think its a male and the other looks exactly the same to me. the bigger one is chasing the smaller one now aswell, and when they see each other like raise their fins as though to make themselves look bigger. i will try and get a picture of them both later to show. anybody got any ideas?
 
Well males have longer dorsal and anal fins, also the tend to be a bit longer. If they are both males that should be fine though, because they are not very aggressive cichlids, only when breeding. What size is your tank?
 
i think the tanks about 45-50L I think im going to have to take either one or both of them back tomorrow, the bigger one is starting to chase the smaller quite alot now and it keeps hiding behind the pump
