I have inherited this fish from a friend who had to move and couldn't house the fish or tank in his new place. I was not sure what type of cichlid it is or even if it is a cichlid. Could anyone please identify it and options of a few tank mates that would suit them he is housed in a 4ft tank.


Cheers Brad

I had thought for awhile that it could be Venustus but I could be wrong.:?

or some other peacock, but again, a better pic is really in order :)
You just reminded me again that I used to keep a female brown Aulonocara nyassae.;) It has been a long time since I kept Malawian cichlids.:dunno:

I am sorry guys it took so long to get back to you about the fish i found out it was a brown peacock cichild with really poor colouring. I was left with cichild granules or flakes which he seems to eat very happily what else would improve his colouration?
