Hi Corby, welcome to the site. You can use the search function in top right corner to read old threads, there is lots of information going back many years. There is also a native fish club you may be interested in joining : http://www.angfaqld.org.au/aqp/

Can't be sure from blurry photos Brett, but wouldn't surprise me if they are hybrids. Lots of people trying to breed malawis in mixed community tanks nowadays and I have never seen so many hybrids getting around If they aren't the quality you are after, best to move them on and get some that are up to scratch.

Better station somebody at the school until 7:00pm to advise people, not very good organisation, another 30 minutes and I would have been gone from home and not able to see the post

Fishking has an 8 x 32 x 32 for sale at the moment in the classifieds

Hi Grum, Put your brother in touch with Devon Barnes, he has quality pure fish at reasonable prices near Melbourne : https://www.facebook.com/BarnesysCichlidHeaven/ Cheers, Doug

In a mixed tank there is always the chance of either intentional or unintentional crossbreeding. Even if a female breeds with the correct male, their breeding activity will usually set off breeding activity amongst other fish in the tank also resulting in milt being carried around by the current.

Probably just as well you were on the road very late at night with that load otherwise you may have attracted the attention of the boys in blue

Not dead yet Ray, I'm still here, just lost somewhere in the internet

welcome back what are you planning on playing around with this time? Cheers, Doug

You can call your fish hybrids or crossbreeds
