Which ones specifically were you thinking of? Even if you could narrow it down to a specific genus from a specific lake, that would help.

I went back to walmart today and searched for the labal of them but none all i found was a sticker on tank that said african cichlids reg. 2in Last edited by DwarfGourami at 29-Dec-2005 11:49 Last edited by Dwarfgourami at 29-Dec-2005 11:50
