what are the blue fish that you have? They look really nice. Are they agressive?


The blue fish are my Cyno. sp. white top 'Hara' (which I think Ad Konings is now calling Cyno. sp. 'Hara', but don't quote me).  Both species are mildly aggressive, they are very tolerant of other species, but less tolerant of other males.  I can usually get away with keeping two males to a group with heavy stocking.

They are a lot more relaxed than the demasoni, I kept some about 3 years ago and they did really well for me.

IF its like the "afra Lupingu" I got (actual name of mine is Cyno. black mbamba Lupingu), the females will not be black.  They are more of a brown most of the time.

Here is photos of the ones I have.

Male:

The male isn't overly aggressive, and has does well in with other Cyno's and various Aul. species.
