White Out Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) So the guy at pisces sold me a cobalt blue and a "ventralis" cichlid. The ventrallis he showed me that was older looked really beautiful so I was happy to pay the 26 bucks... but they both look like cobalts to me... help please Fish B appears to be on the left and has 3 pics of it, and Fish A has 2 on the right.. thanks in advance for the help Edited April 3, 2010 by White Out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JORG Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I saw those fish last week in the store there was a male in the tank, But that's not it. If you only got 1, even if it is a male it will most likly never colour up very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
