Beauties, Chris!
I’ve forgotten, are the egg spots on their anal fins only on the females, or both?

Hey L777 Eggspots are only a myth when refuring to mbuna. Both sexes can have them…some may and some may not have them. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Many people believe this egg spot deal but don’t go by it.

Chris fish are looking good..can’t wait to seem them colored up. how many did you get by the way? Just be sure to let the fish you have in there now to hang out for a month if you decide to add more. I know you prob. wanna stock your tank right away but i don’t recommend it.
Your fish need time to settle.

If you do end up having territtorial issues when adding more fish change the territories up (i.e. rearrange some rocks) things should work itself out. Eventuallty you could add some BN Plecs if you have algea build up…my fish don’t bother the plec at all.

SO good luck and post some more pics. we wanna some overall pics too.

thanks for the replies.

stocking is done know no more.

main reson is i havent got my second filter (the eheim ecco).
2nd i think there enough in there as there’s already 12. (6 of each)
3rd im probbly getting that other tank. so will need to improve the filtration alot more.

ive been told on the cichlid forum they may not be Cynotilapia Afra ‘white Top’.

water stats have also been perfect. no amonia (like it should always be)

i done a 25% waterchange before adding the fish as the water they were kept in was around the 7.4ish mark, so i wanted to bring mine down a little.
