Fuelleborni Cichlid ( Labeotropheus fuelleborni).Electric Blue Johannii ( Melanochromis johannii).The Blue Mbuna actually refers to 2 different species from Lake Malawi: African Cichlids Blue Mbuna Electric Blue Johannii Due to their long trailing fins you should not keep them with Barbs or other fin nipping fish. However, they will get a bit pushy with their own kind. They are community friendly and can get along with Corys, large Tetras, and Livebearers. Because of this they are much easier to care for and are the best type for beginners. Their elegant appearance has earned them the title King of the Aquarium.Ĭommon Angelfish have a much calmer temperament than other Cichlids. The Common Angelfish ( Pterophyllum scalare) is the most famous species of Freshwater Angelfish. Their water must be very acidic, with a pH below 6.0. These fish require pristine water with no trace of ammonia or other waste products. An Altum Angel has 3 very thick complete black bands with silver or white borders. Common Angels have 3 thin borderless bands that break in some places. The way to tell the difference is to look at the bands. Unfortunately, many pet stores label Altum Angels as Common Angels. If you are new to fish keeping then you should consider the Common Angelfish. They are sensitive to their environment and need an experienced keeper. The Altum Angelfish ( Pterophyllum altum) comes from the Orinoco River basin. There are 3 different species: the Green, Orange, and Banded Chromide.
