Title: Help me identify
Post by: Mission Man on July 21, 2013, 09:36:44 AM

I am new to the hobby and bought a trio of what I was told were Aulonocara sp. "Lwanda" Red Top Peacocks from a pet store in Clio.  I have a male and two of the pictured females.  After researching (after the fact  :-\) I am doubting whether the females are in fact Red Tops.  Lesson definitely learned.  Can you help me identify what the females may be?

Thanks,
Rob

Thanks!  I don't want to get rid of them, but I also don't want to have "Mutt Fry".

The fish Daniel listed ARE mutts themselves.  ;)
