blue cichlids

pullins125 · 03-29-2008, 06:22 PM

i was wondering if anybody knew any prettty blue cichlids.

Well the majority of pretty blue cichlids would be africans, so I would say some would be,
- Kenyi cichlids(females)
- Colbalt Zebras
- Malawi eye biter
- Johanni cichlids
- Socolofi
- Saulosi(males)
Thats the africans I can think of right now, but I'm sure theres more.

In terms of New World cichlids I would suggest the following, though they are completely Blue,
-Blue acara
-Discus
-Jack Dempsey
-Honduran red Points ( a tinge of blue )

Just remember, not all blue cichlids will work with your tank

In fact, most wont.

blue acara, nanacara anomola, blue rams,

What do you want to keep them with?

pullins125 · 03-30-2008, 01:00 PM

You'll need a dedicated African tank for those. I don't suggest adding them to your current tank.

They are gorgeous though.

pullins125 · 04-09-2008, 08:55 PM

oh i not i really dont have much room ill probably get rid or one to add a blue but i need a blue. probably remove the leporinus for something blue.

Those guys would probably kill your parrots... unfortunately it isn't a very good idea to mix africans and south/central americans.
