Hey what's up? I know there are a few people on here that build/take care of aquariums. I been searching all local shops to find a cynotilapia afra cobu "orangeback cichlid" and everytime I bring up the name no one really knows what I'm talking about. Besides online I have yet to see one around. So my question is does anyone know of a good place that could get the fish? I've already checked animal jungle with no luck. Lmk if there r suggestions.

i've had him just a few weeks in my new tank. Blood Red Parrot Cichlid.
When I google the exact name u listed, this comes up:
which looks like a cross between a electric blue cichlid and a bumblebee cichlid....idk if you'll have much luck gettn a hybrid like that in shops. My petsmart just got a bunch of bumblebees in.

Well that's always a plus. Sometimes attitudes can be different in individual fish, its good yours are cool with each other. I've always been told that Oscars and JD's are what go together.

ive been eyeing the tank of Convicts at my pet store....ive held off becuase they're very young, and don't look too colorful...
the stripes are barely visible...and in google pics i usually see a hint of blue/purple. i dont see it yet
I might pick one up. It's between that or a green terror.

Convicts dont get very big so dont expect the size to be huge. The guy told me that the one I have is pretty much full grown and he might be 3" long so yeah. As for the Green Terror those get a little size to them, and they are rather dull to begin with but you will be excited to watch them grow and change, their colors get better and better.
