LITHOCHROMIS RUFUS--haplochromis pseudonigricans red

[SGypsyMermaid]

i think that this is my favorite victorian(at least for the moment) i won an auction for six juveniles, then a couple of months later, bought another six. the males have colored up and are breathtaking. i hope to get them set up in their own tank soon, though i may house my unidentified blue labs with them. should make a nice color contrast--don't you think?

Hey SGM 8) Wow, those are some beautiful Haps!!! Definitely let me know when those guys start breeding :wink: Have you tried labs in with haps before? I was thinking of adding some Yellow labs in with my Bloyetis for a little contrast. I figure that they're mellow enough that they wont bother the haps, but tough enough to be in there with them. That's the theory anyway :lol: I'm sure you all know how theory's about cichlid compatability can go :x

right now they're in a tank with a huge yellow lab, and the smaller labs(which i think are lab 'chidunga"), along with some acei ngara, a. latifasciata, peacocks...you can definitely have some fry if i ever get any!
