Fish R Us has the two that Chris didn't get... looks like 2 females. He wanted $200 ea! I'm thinking that you can talk him

Ok, well I messed that up. Is the Microlepis THE CICHLID. Like, the biggest cichlid. Like, the one that everybody talks about. I keep seeing pictures and articles that have fish that look like the microlepis, but are called EMPEROR CICHLIDS.

[geoff_tropheus]

"Aulonocara" is a Peacock, come from Lake Malawi. Peacocks get a little over 6" from time to time.

You Microclepis is a Tanganyikan and has a much more rigid looking body, and a completely different looking head and fins all over.

Thanks! I'll have to go check them out. How can you tell the difference between the emperor cichlid (Aulonocara nyassae) and Boulengerochromis microlepis?? Some articles actually call these guys emperors....
