Hi All,
Bought a male and female fish today described as Aulonocara Macobs by the
LFS....shame on me I bought them on impulse for my Malawi Tank....

I decided to do some post- purchase research but can find nothing on fish of
this name.

Has anyone come across them before or know them by a different name?

Lovely fish.....just want to be sure that I treat them right

Gill

If Macobs is a typo for Jacobs, then;

Identified the fish....They are Aulonocara hybrid OB Peacock's...they are
Juvs

Not quite sure what to do....it's my own fault for buying on impulse.....

:oops: I've been stocking the tank quite slowly and researching each

addition....problem was the lfs didn't have the fish I wanted to add this
time...pretty much it was going to be all Mbuna. The usual guy was off this
weekend.

Fully mature they do look quite pretty but I had wanted an all native Malawi
tank...the environment should be OK for them...lots of rocks/caves but open
space at the front and top...

Any suggestions please as to what to do?

Thanks

Bring them back to the store and get credit?
