 | Could someone help me identify this cichlid? |
Nyteflame Fingerling Posts: 38 Kudos: 17 Registered: 22-May-2006   |  Edited by nyteflame"She" is about a year old now. Im afraid she was an impulse buy, I have no idea what she is, except shes similar in size and shape to my other cichlid, a P. Socolofi. Her fins look bluish in that picture, but i think it was just the flash on the camera, they are realy mostly white. Thanks in advance for your help. Also, if you can tell me if she is male or female, that would be helpful. |

| Nyteflame Fingerling Posts: 38 Kudos: 17 Registered: 22-May-2006 | Orange Blotch is also a red zebra: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1729 It says that male red zebras are usualy blue, but that orange ones are becoming more common. Apparently the red form is supposed to be female. Which means I still have no idea if she is male or female  Ah well. |
