Hi,
New on here and setting up a Malawi tank... saying goodbye to all my convicts. I 'inherited' a number of cichlids from someone who was uprooting, and these two have me baffled. I think they may be a Peacock. That is, assuming they are a pair. They both are displaying breeding behaviour with each other. The bigger, mor orange one has four egg spots, three of them yellow with a dark edge, the forth without the dark edge. It's about 12cm long.
The second one is much smaller, maybe 6cm and only has 2 egg spots (yellow with dark edges).
My apologies if they are something obvious to you.
By the way, I don't know where they came from at all. I wish I had asked!
Thanks
