I picked up a couple of "Rusty" Cichlids (Iodotropheus sprengerae) the other day and they have turned out to be awesome little fish. While these are one of the oldest imported Cichlids from Africa, they are still worthy of a spot in your tank. These usually grow to be around the 4 inch range, so a smaller African. They are very peaceful and active swimmers (they like to play in the filter return). Anyways, snagged a couple of pics of them. Hope you enjoy!

Not too fond of cichlids from that Lake but these would make the cut.700g Mini-Monster tank -
Yeah, I also am not too fond of Malawi's, but these are an exception. They have decent coloring, they don't get too big, but most of all I like their temperament. One of those types that just doesn't seem to have a care in the world. While other cichlids would rather start a fight, these guys just go about their business.Originally posted by eklikewhoa View Post65G African Tank (1 Ropefish, 1 Senegal Bichir, 3 Spotted Climbing Pearch, 2 Black Calvus "Zebra", 1 Featherfin Cat, African Knife, 2 Upside down Cats and an African Butterfly Fish.
