My fish tank is full of life again! I went to the fish store today and came home with 4 saulosi cichlids. They're beautiful! And VERY active. It almost makes me dizzy just to watch them!


The blue one is a male for sure and I'm hoping the 3 yellow ones are females... although it seems that one of them might be a male (and he/she is kind of a jerk!
)

So far, I've nicknamed them:
Male: Fred
Females: Wilma and Betty
Unknown sex: Glen/Glenda

But I might change the names later... I'm not sure if I like them.

Anyways, here are the best pictures I could take of them:

The whole gang:


I think that's Glen/Glenda


Fred


And Fred again:

Beautiful.

I simply love cichlids, their colors and size can rival almost any saltwater fish, almost.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, it seems like those fish aren't really saulosis, but probably some sort of hybrids. That's too bad.
Ah well, apparently that happens a lot with cichlids. But as long as they do fine in my tank, I don't mind.
