Pics Of My Africans

[FishGeek]

I started an African Cichlid tank and found Haplochromis sp. Red Fin Blue Neon at a LFS. But I spent $10 each for them there and I lost one. But I found a guy on Aquabid.com that was selling them. I spent $40 for 6 of them!! Im getting some Otopharynx Lithobates tomorrow and the two will be housed together. For now, though, here are some pics of the Haps:

Ok well this is a bad pic of my Striped Rapheal. But hes getting so big! He was like an inch and a half, maybe two when I got him and hes at least doubled in size in just a couple months.

They are just getting their color and although this isnt a great shot I love the color that he is showing in this pic. And I do believe that this is gonna be the dominant male.

Sry my glass is really dirty and it made it hard to get pics.

STRIPED RAFAEL!!!! *PEACE!* *PEACE!* *PEACE!*
haha finally someone else who has one.

hey does your guy like to find a small hole to hide in a lot? Or is he pretty active? My guy doesn't like to swim around much anymore, he always finds a place to hide at the bottom and just hangs there.

Yeah mine hangs out in a hole most of the time but every now and then, mostly during feeding, he comes out.

Thanks I got my Lithobates in yesterday. But they are way tinier than I thought they were going to be and so I had to put them into a 20G till they grow up a bitand its a bit hard to get pics of them. Hopefully they catch up to the Red Fins soon.
