Default 2 Africans for adoption NY

Hi guys! We have 2 African Cichlids free to good home. One is yellow/black/white horizontal stripes and the other is electric yellow. The yellows tail is pretty messed up as the other is really aggressive. We want them to have a home with someone who knows more about cichlids than we do. We are in Brooklyn, NY.

The first one. They get SUPER agressive.

The second one either looks like a very stressed , bad quality,Labidochromis ceraelus, or some pea**************** mbuna hybrid.

He is only striped when stressed. As I said the other one beat him around a lot. We have them seperated now.

In the end I think the only thing that should be kept with auratus's is female auratus's, or maybe another tough mbuna like a johanni. I have also heard of them being kept with texas cichlids and things of that nature. Labs are fairly mellow, I dont think it really stands a chance if the auratus is already starting on it.

Youre right. Im surprised the lab is still alive to be honest. I think its going to be hard to find a home for them.

You might be able to dump them at an LFS. Just pack them in seperate jugs and go see if they will take them. I had a Johanni that was killing fish left and right, so thts what I did.

Not to veer off-topic (well yeah, I will) but when I saw the subject line, I thought of Madonna.
