Last night my mom sent my girlfriend on a mission to get panty hose at walmart.
Since my mom let her use her discount card, she also bought some fish.
I personally never buy fish from there. But she did (it was so cute!) so I would really like to keep them. I know they are cichlids. But heres the dillema:
1) I dont have any clue what kind of cichlids they are.
2) The only "free" aquarium was the one used for my baby fry. My female molly recently died so I gave the cichlids that 10gal.
There are four altogether. And if you guys could help me identify them that would be great. Ill describe them:
1) Bright orance color, about 2.5 inches long, and a small circle white spot (doesnt apear to be ich or disease) on its anal fin.
2) One, the smallest, is a creamy white color, with red eyes (albino?) and is about 2 inches, maybe a centimeter or two smaller, and has that same small dot on the anal fin as the one above (but not as prominent, barely visable).
3) Another is a slight blueish color, with darker stipes falling from its back, about 5 of them. This ones about 2 inches long as well.
4) The last one is bigger than the rest and looks to be some sort of comouflage (hehehe). Hes a slight grey with splotches of a foresty green dotting his entire body and is about 3.5 inches.
If anyone could help identify those and could help me fiure out the best way to care for them and tell me if a ten gallon is safe for them (at least untill a time when I can get a bigger tank for the lil guys) I would be most grateful.
Thank you!
