Since I am still learning identification with Vics myself, are these Zue Islands Victorians? Carl

Thanks guys!!!

The one at the bottom is a Zue Island, the bluish one is an unidentified species. We are guessing X. Flameback, not to be confused with X. Kyoga Flameback. Still waiting on him to finish coloring up to positively identify him. Whatever he is he is going to be absolutely beautiful.

OK, I felt pretty confident as to the Zue Island, but the other looked like a Flameback of some sort, but I was not sure.

Some day I aspire to be worthy enough to own cichlids like that.
	Bravery is not the ability to face dangerous or difficult situations without fear; for that is mere foolishness and therefore no great accomplishment. Bravery is the ability to feel fear and yet carry out the right and necessary thing that one is called upon to do.

Kagome, it's not as hard as you think it is. African cichlids are fairly easy to care for, at least from Malawi and Victoria. The water perimeters aren't as important as stability, and they are very hardy fish.

Brenda, have you taken any pictures of the males that I sent you? I'd love to see how they are getting along in your tank.

I will get some for you Barbara...Probably tomorrow. They look to be doing GREAT. I am curious to see if one of them steps up their game here soon... as my dom male has been kicked out of his cave by the "flameback?" and it may open doors for one of these other guys.

Barbara is right kagome...These guys a very hardy...This would be a great excuse to try and get anothe tank going.

Thank you thank you thank you! That just tickles me that they are there, and doing well. Thanks for spoiling them. I hope they do well for you. I do believe they are from a different bloodline than your set, so you are varying your blood lines by adding mine. Isn't that cool???

Honestly, it depends on the species, but females can have egg spots as well. The males will have a spot with a clear orbit around, normally with a black ring. The females may have the spot, but it won't be outlined. Not always easy to tell. The recent pictures of the Chromos that I sent Brenda, I have to admit, I held my breath and guessed! They are too small to REALLY tell, but I think I managed to pick 2 males for her.
