First topic message reminder :
Hello everyone! My name is Matt, but in most forums/games I use the handle "brokeashell". I'm 27 and currently living in McAlester, Oklahoma. I am a fish noob. I bought my first aquarium about a year ago and have managed to keep my fish alive! I don't know all the species of cichlids in my tank... maybe you guys/gals can help?
BTW, Whoever thought it was a good idea to post ads in craigslist... You sir are a genius! That's how I found this site.
Here is my 55 gallon setup, enjoy!

Yeah, he was an Auratus... But the albinos are peacocks (or atleast that's what the store owner told me). I will try to take a better picture of them so you can see the stripes on their sides. Also, I think I have a hybrid electric blue ahli... from pictures I've found, my female looks like the blue ahli, but my male has an orange tint over the blue (which looks wicked in the right light).

I was thinking the same thing about the Blue Ahli. That is what you will get when you buy from a LFS. I personaly think it should be illegal for a fish store to sell a fish that says Electric Blue Ahli but infact it is not. Kills me

Well I got 3 "hybrid" Blue Ahli from Aquarium Concepts in Oklahoma City. The owner even told me they were wild caught. Strange thing is, I've always heard good things about that shop. I guess these things happen though.
