*blushes at the scrutiny of his pics*
hehe; to tell you the truth; I got so excited when I got my camera; then I went trhough two days of not being able to display my pics; and yesterday when I finally figured everything out; it got late.
So this morning I wake up; determined to have something new to show you guys; but I was in a bit too much of a hurry; what with running around half-naked getting ready for work; making breakfast and taking a shower; all at once; lol
I resolve to supply ya'll with some better photos; promise.

thanks cichlid-man; yeah; the pics are blurry; still getting conoitered with my camera.
I went to the lfs yesterday and what do I find? A tank full of victorian haps. So yes; you were %100 right on that one!
Now the question is; should they be removed in the long term? I bought them at the same time as most of my other cichlids (from teh same mixed african tank) and they have faired well; not much growth yet but healthy and strong appetites; dont really get harrased by other fish.
I suppose while I wait for a reply cichlid-man; i will do my own research on victorian haps.
P.S.: color scheme kinda boring on these guys; just plain ol' silver

I don't think you will have a problem keeping them with the Mbuna/Malawi.
How big are they, could be that they havn't colored up yet. A lot of Victorian haps are very brilliant with reds, yellows, blacks and blues all on one fish. Not sure what species yours is though so its hard to say about color.
